[Tutor] No speedup in

[Thanos Panousis]

You cannot get around the GIL in python.

Maybe you could try passing chunks of your matrix that are copies of
the submatrises you want to multiply using threads. This way it will
be different objects, thus no GIL....I could be awfully wrong though,
I am a beginner in threads as well.
