so how does this compare to something like Deco? https://github.com/alex-sherman/deco https://github.com/alex-sherman/deco. I guess since this uses a single GIL

As written, the code in the blogpost is good for IO limited things. But as it notes, if you replace 'ThreadPoolExecutor' with 'ProcessPoolExecutor' then you get actual multiprocessing, and you may be able to get speedup on compute bound tasks. The linked repo looks like some nice wrappers/decorators around the 'old' multiprocessing library to make it really easy to parallelize a bunch of function calls within a blocking function.
