How so? if you have cooperating processes, multiprocessing, and message passing, you *don't* have CPU bound threads along with IO "bound" threads in the same process - you may not have threads at all!!! > In any case, if the GIL can be improved in a way that is simple and > which either improves or doesn't negatively impact the performance of > existing applications, why wouldn't you want to do it? Seems like a > no-brainer. Unfortunately, a simple improvement doesn't really seem to exist.
