Have you tried benchmarking it?
Interlocked functions are *much* faster than Win32 mutex/semaphores in the uncontended case.
It only doubles the time taken for a "l.acquire(); l.release()" loop in Python code, but at the C level it is probably 10 times slower.
Do you really want the GIL to be 10 times slower in the uncontended case? ;-)
