Hi, the old and slow python implementation of pickle didn't block background thread. But the newer C-implementation blocks other threads while dump/load is running. Wouldn't it be possible to allow other threads during this time? Especially could load/loads release the GIL, because Python objects are not available to the Python code until these functions have finished? Regards, Martin
