[Baypiggies] GIL for dummies

[Benjamin Sergeant]

I found that on reddit this morning, and it's very interesting for
people like me who followed the GIL heated debates without really
understanding a single bit ... the paper is very clear and based on
one CPU bound program that perform (way) better in a single thread
than in two threads (on a MacBook probably with 2 cores).
