Well, if Python runs really fast for the clued-in users who use PyPy and pretty slow for the non-clueful, then I'm providing my users with a bad experience. I need to be able to reliably deliver fast code without futzing around with custom installs of Python just to deliver an app.
Actually, it runs well enough in CPython unless you are doing something terrible with your code. What it doesn't do is execute more than one thread within the same process. If you don't need to share in-memory data between your threads (which is something you really should avoid, for your own sake), you can use the same mechanism you use to create a thread to create a new process.
