hello,

CPU intensive programs can also benefit from the GIL if they use code
which releases the GIL around the CPU intensive parts.

Some parts of python do this, as do the numpy and pygame extensions
amongst others.

Another good, but separate, documentation patch would be to document
which functions release the GIL.


cheers,
