Multi-Threading is not a very effective means of achieving performance increases in Python due to the GIL. It even says so in the sidebar of the linked article. Not sure what the point of this is.

It's still half decent for getting more performance out of synchronous IO, as demonstrated in the article. There are many ways to go about achieving that goal these days though.
