The GIL problem is generally overrated.
Frankly I would suggest you not try and prematurely optimise things by
making assumptions that you will actually have a problem to begin
with. Just get on with writing your code.
When it comes down to deployment, what configuration you use will
depend on many things, such as how many concurrent requests you need
to handle. How long are your average/maximum length requests. What
memory restrictions you have etc etc. Most of the time how it is
deployed will not matter one bit, as most web sites would never stress
the web hosting system enough to cause a real problem anyway as long
as you use a sensible basic configuration.
