Yes, but the million dollar question is whether or not it really is superior 
with the I/O convoying problem in the current implementation (an effect that is 
substantially worse with the new GIL than with the old one by the way).  
Personally, I think the convoying issue is something that will have to be fixed 
eventually.   Although, I also agree that it merits more study--especially with 
real-world applications.

Cheers,
Dave
