I need to find which percentile of a group of numbers is over a threshold value. Is there a way that this can be speed up? My implementation is much too slow for the intended application. In case this changes anything, I am running my program using `mpirun -np 100 python program.py`. I cannot use numba, as the rest of this program uses try/except statements.

    import numpy as np
    my_vals = []
    threshold_val = 0.065
    for i in range(60000):
        my_vals.append(np.random.normal(0.05, 0.02))

    for i in np.arange(0,100,0.001):
        if np.percentile(my_vals,i) > threshold_val:
            perc = 1*i
            break
    else: perc = 100
