You haven't split the task between the threads here. loops should be set to [2500,2500] for a correct comparison.
On a single processor system, a tight loop like the one you are testing will at best show the same time as the non-threaded case. Most likely the threaded version will take more time on single processor systems due to the thread context switching overhead. On a multi-processor system too, you are likely to see the same figures since what you are measuring with time.clock is the amount of CPU time taken. That will be the same in the threaded and non-threaded case. On the multi-processor system you will see a difference in actual time taken by both. You could use time.time to measure that.
