As I understand it, I/O happens outside of GIL. As the API requests are the
most time-consuming part of many of my robots (and more precisely the
connection to the servers), being able to do requests from several threads
should somewhat improve performance (as long as the throttling is not too
aggressive).
I've noticed that the preloading limit is not only 50 pages, making this
problem even more stringent for many small pages. It's probably also a good
idea for things like image upload/download.
If it helps, we can do some tests to see if performance is increased for a
simple file downloader?
