Usually when I've needed more parallelization I've allowed more processes and for slow methods, there is threading available (this doesn't overcome the GIL but allows those methods to independently operate). It seems like the biggest reasons to focus on removing the GIL are single-process applications or machines where memory is constrained (so you don't want tons of processes consuming it all). Are you in one of those situations or is there another scenario that is impacted by the GIL?
