I am sorry, I am not an expert in Vala.
I think you can make your code parallel by using GLib threads, normal 
Linux pthreads or forks.

Python is not good at all for parallel computations (unless you use 
some parallel servers/services), as its threads are not real threads, 
but cooperative multitasking with a global lock.

You could consider Google's go, instead.
