      <image:title>Blog - ILLUSTRATION ENGINE SPEED COMPARISONS - The execution time larger looks linear as cases are added, a good sign.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - ILLUSTRATION ENGINE SPEED COMPARISONS - Looking instead at the data on a logarithmic scale we still generally see the linear growth, but at lower case counts we also can see the parallel Python implementation being hindered until somewhere between 100 and 1,000 cases.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Execution time still appears linear, though single threaded Python is noticeably slower than the rest of the implementations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - ILLUSTRATION ENGINE SPEED COMPARISONS</image:title>
      <image:caption>The logarithmic view is helpful and we still see parallel Python getting penalized at low case counts but it overtakes single threaded Python sooner. Note that Go and Rust with single workers appear faster than parallelized Python in this testing and there is nearly a whole order of magnitude difference between parallel Python and parallel Rust.</image:caption>
