But people are not doing cpu bound tasks in native python (performance is a joke), it all comes down to calling a C library that is optimized for compute - what will be the change that GIL brings here?

There is a JIT being built for Python, so performance is being attacked from 2 avenues, single threaded and multithreaded.
