hendrikmakait opened a new issue, #39096: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/39096
### Describe the enhancement requested The `.nbytes` holds the GIL while computing the data size in C++, which has caused performance issues in Dask because threads were blocking each other. Am I missing a valid reason for blocking the GIL during the computation? From my understanding, there should be no possible race conditions. Similarly, I noticed that `.get_total_buffer_size` holds the GIL as well, but I'm not sure if that's a problem because the computation is much cheaper. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
