Do they do anything about the GIL?

Unfortunately, no. I checked into this at one point because I basically
use parallelism for everything in D and have an 8-core computer at work.
Therefore, if PyPy is a factor of 5 (just making up numbers) slower
than D for equivalently written code, it's 40x slower once you consider
that parallelism is easy in D and really hard except at the coarsest
grained levels in PyPy.
