python slow in socket operations -

i have server written in java , client written in python. when run client script(it creates 10k clients sending data infinitely),majority of time spent in socket creation , connection. have server running on system connected through lan. when run java client program, time taken 3-6 times less python. problem of python? or there problem in code?

here program reference.
