What about a Web server framework like Twisted, which claims to be
single threaded, but uses a deferring mechanism to give up control
(or perform other tasks?) during slow operations?  Is Twisted
depending upon the giving up control during I/O operations (using
the deferred mechanism) in order to make use of multiple
processors?

Does Twisted make good use of multiple processors?
