Here are some parallel-processing links I've got in my bookmarks. They
might be of use, as would searching for "pthreads".

Threads give you the chance to introduce new types of bugs into your
program, like deadlock, so only use threads when you actually have a need
for them.

BTW, the thread implementation in python is easy to use, so useful for
learning.
