I think this is exactly the way to go, and what I use.
The thread support is just for situations where you cannot
avoid it.

A real issue that cannot be solved at the moment is in fact
using multiple CPUs. A workaround, if there is not so much
communication necessary between parts of your application,
I use multiple processes which talk to each other.

Free threading support, for using multiple CPU's together,
will be a feature of Stackless PyPy.
