>
> Currently the I/O-style calls to the Cproton methods don't unlock the Ruby
> GIL, impacting performance as other Threads could be given time on the
> interpreter whilst the extension code is running.
> Depending on Ruby version this is simply a matter of wrapping the calls in
> rb_thread_call_without_gvl (Ruby 2.x +) or rb_thread_blocking_region (Ruby
> 1.9.x). On Ruby 1.8 I'm not sure if you can enable this, but its my
> understanding that RHEL requires continued support for 1.8, so some #define
> work would be needed to perform a no-op on that version.
