Critical Bank application written in python need a boost from Jython

[Bob G.]

Hello

We have a critical legacy application using Python 2.3. This application was identified as the main bottleneck in our infrastructure. The bad performances of this application are due to the poor support of Multie-Threading in the Python VM (i.e. how the G.L.I is implemented).

Now the questions for all Jython experts:
- Base on your experience, do you think that running the same Python code using Jython and a JVM 1.6 will improve overall performances and will handle concurrent Threads better?
- What kind of problem can we face by running a Python 2.3 code on the Latest Jython version ?

Thank you all
