Except that his code was not CPU-bound to begin with.  His real problem
is that his callback is starting *and* waiting for all the threads to do
their work without returning to the main loop, thus blocking the GUI.
As for the threads, they are I/O bound--he's simply trying to do
concurrent HTTP downloads.  So blocking in the GIL is not the issue
here.  In fact, in lieu of using proper asynchronous I/O, threading of
some kind is probably not a bad solution here, but he has to do it
within the Qt Framework, using signals to notify the GUI when a thread
is finished, or using a synchronization primitive such as a queue, as
recommended by your book in fact.
