The GIL *is* widely known, and there's nothing that can be done about it (without redesigning all of Python's runtime from scratch, anyway).
I think we can agree that the GIL is now better known than it was - at least to people who've arrived at Zope from a content management direction rather than a Python direction. I've updated <http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris/report_ps> to include Tim Hoffman's helpful item on processor sets and created <http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris/multiproc> in an effort to capture the gist of the present thread.
