I think Antoine and Bill went off an a bit of a tangent that *is* specific to Mac OS X and the old GIL (where a Python application not only fails to take advantage of additional cores, but actually runs slower than it does on a less powerful single core machine). The convoying problem identified in issue 7946 does indeed apply to the new GIL on multiple platforms. Without reviewing either proposed patch in detail, I personally am slightly inclined to favour David's suggested solution, both because I better understand the explanation of how it works (and simplicity is a virtue from a maintainability point of view), and because the BFS approach appears to run into trouble when it comes to identifying a suitable cross platform time reference.
