Also had a similar thought experiment, went and built it. Thanks for the other commentors as well I should link to this HN page in the README.

Thanks for this. Have you considered using a GPU to speed up computations?

I thought about it, but according to the other commentors here a project like this wouldn't make sense. I was learning python at the time and I wanted to learn about multithreaded programming in python.

I could turn it into a learning project with no practical applications. It would be a good platform to learn about OpenCL, and see if the benchmarking times improve.
