You mean milliseconds I suppose? If it's the case, then you may simply be witnessing garbage collection runs. I've measured garbage collection runs of about 50 ms each on a Web application, with the full framework loaded and a bunch of objects in memory. If you really meant seconds, it looks a bit too high to be GIL-related. What kind of things are the CPU threads doing?
