So it's a single thread event loop? which means 1 cpu utilization? I get a lot of people have gotten mileage out of event loop scaling over the last 10-15 year

So it's a single thread event loop? which means 1 cpu utilization? I get a lot of people have gotten mileage out of event loop scaling over the last 10-15 years (that's the trick of nginx, node.js, etc, right?), but even raspberry pis are quad core?

Some C extensions run even when they don't have the lock. Also, the OS gets to run. If you have a lot of parallel computation, Python may not be a great choice. However, if you're managing a lot of IO with not much computation, Python is perfectly reasonable.
