Hmmm
Actually I will take some of this back.
It seems even on my single CPU notebook multiple pystones running concurrently do not exhibit the behaviour I would expect from a CPU oriented benchmark.

I was wondering about this... It turns out pystones uses clock(), which is CPU time used (on Unix systems). It other words, it shouldn't matter if you run 1 or 10 at once, you'll get the same answer. In terms of benchmarking python, this is great since it makes the test results stable. But you'll need a different benchmark to test multitasking/SMP situations.
