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

[David Beazley]

About nine years ago, I stood in front of a room of Python developers, including many core developers, and gave a talk about the problem described in this issue.  It included some live demos and discussion of a possible fix.

Based on subsequent interest, I think it's safe to say that this issue will never be fixed.  Probably best to close this issue.
