title: Can I run two seperate jupyter notebook files at the same time, without slowdown on a single CPU computer?
body: <p>I am currently running a python function in jupyter notebook, which is taking quite some time. Python says it is running at about 98% of the CPU, however, still about 60% of my CPU is unused. Now after some googling I have found that this has to do something with threading of my processor (I am not a computer engineer so sorry if this is incorrect). However, <strong>I was wondering if can run another function in jupyter notebook, and will it take up some of that 60% unused activity, or will it divide the 99% among two functions, slowing down both functions</strong>. I hope you guys can help. If anything is unclear please let me know. </p>
  
  <p>P.S. I am using a macbook pro retina late 2012 (i know), 2,5 gHZ intel core i5, with 8 gbs of ram. It has two cores and one processor.</p>
