We release the GIL in a variety of situations which don't necessarily involve heavy computations (such as: waiting for IO or sleeping). Furthermore, having several threads taking / dropping the GIL would make the affinity setting / unsetting pattern quite chaotic. Really, I think the processor affinity solution can only be application-specific. There doesn't seem to be an easy, generic way of guessing whether some kind of processor affinity should be requested or not.
