The issues of a single GIL haven't gone away. The only difference is that the GIL is (probably) released much more frequently than it was before. The changes are to do with correctness (specifically deadlock avoidance) rather than performance. I don't know what the performance effect would be on a multi-processor. Matt said that he could run more threads but I don't know what hardware he has. I noticed a (small) degradation on my uni-processor - as would be expected.
