Description
I added parallel SQL query execution here:
My hunch is that this will take advantage of multiple cores, since Python's sqlite3 module releases the GIL once a query is passed to SQLite.
I'd really like to prove this is the case though. Just not sure how to do it!
Larger question: is this performance optimization actually improving performance at all? Under what circumstances is it worthwhile?
