[issue7946] Convoy effect with I/O bound threads and New GIL

It's a dual-core Linux x86-64 system. But, looking at the patch again,
the reason is obvious:

#define CHECK_SLICE_DEPLETION(tstate) (bfs_check_depleted || (tstate->tick_counter % 1000 == 0))

`tstate->tick_counter % 1000` is replicating the behaviour of the old
GIL, which based its speculative operation on the number of elapsed
opcodes (and which also gave bad latency numbers on the regex workload).

By the way, I configure --with-computed-gotos.
