Yes you did miss something - it will not "serialize" clients at all.

Firstly, the reference was to IE, where there really arent "multiple
clients" - but there may be multiple windows.

Secondly, the internal Python lock is well documented, and it unlikely to
cause performance problems unless you are running CPU intensive code in
Python on a multiple CPU box.  Most IE users are running single CPU users
but even so, Python is rarely doing CPU intensive work - it is typically
waiting on something external, such as the user, network, files, database or
mail server, etc.
