Im new to this, and I encountered that the GIL causes performance bottlenecks in CPU-bound tasks. For instance, even with multiple threads running on a multi-core processor, Python often can't fully utilize all CPU cores due to the GIL. Many beginners expect Python threads to improve performance in multi-core systems, only to find that processes or async IO are better for concurrency. Have you faced challenges migrating a project to a GIL-free implementation, like using multiprocessing or JIT compilers like PyPy? Please if theres anything I should know dm me!
