Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org> added the comment:
The garbage collector will never be able to run in a second thread
because it manipulates Python objects, which the GIL is supposed to protect!
As for non-linear complexity, see #4688 and #4074 for some attempts to
sooth this problem over.
