I don't think overview material like that should be buried inside the
documentation for one particular module; it should go in a chapter
introduction.  

My plan is to move multiprocessing from the 'Optional OS Services'
chapter to the 'Interprocess Communication' chapter, and then expand
the introduction of the chapter to discuss the GIL and related issues.
Presumably it was put in the 'Optional OS Services' chapter because
that's where the threading and thread modules are.
