How Optimize parallel version of Mandelbrot

[GrapeVines]

Hi Group!,  

I have used mandelbrot.py (inside ./demos/mandelbrot/) to do tests and get time measurement with different parameters.

App, works fine fine, but I want to optimize more; I can use 1-5 PC's.

And I have tried distribute height/2 for root node, and the other lines are distributed for other PC's. I think, it is better due to communications between nodes can be slow, but I get similar time measurement. 

What other ways  to improve mandelbrot do you know?.

Thanks in advance.

Look here: https://bitbucket.org/dalcinl/pasi-2011-mpi4py/src/fffcf9fad634/examples/mandelbrot-mpi-cyclic.py

This example employs cyclic row distribution fix the computation load inbalance.
