It also has a potential for slowing down your code if used willy nilly, of course.<p>Multiprocessing gets pretty useless for anything outside of independent CPU bound tasks with little IPC and simple data types that can be stuck into shared memory.<p>If you&#x27;re using multiprocessing pools so often that you think you need a decorator to clean up your code, then wow, I&#x27;d like to see what you&#x27;re up to. ;)
