Re: [sqlmap-users] CPU utilization

[Miroslav S. <mir...@gm...>]

Dear Kasper.

Python has an "technical" issue dealing with multithreading programs.
In part that it can't run threads on multiple cores, it has a really
nasty "GIL" problem which is discussed here:
http://www.snaplogic.com/blog/?p=94. Threading of sqlmap really speeds
it up, but the side effect is that CPU-throttling you are talking
about, especially in a high number of threads used.

Kind regards.
