> Perl 5.8 threads was a compromise where everything is cloned so that there is no interference between threads and whenever you want to share something, you have to say it explicitly and an intermediate (and quite inefficient) layer that does the locking and serializes access is set up by the runtime. I'm by far no expert here, but I remember seeing benchmarks where the Perl approach actually did beat Python's GIL in terms of performance. But benchmarks are like statistics, the author often only measures his own prejudices ... ;-)
