[PySide] Keeping GUI responsive

[Marian Beermann]

You still get multiple threads, which is still useful. Note that many
operations do unlock the GIL and give you parallelism, for example
performing I/O. So using QThreads in Python to implement parallel I/O or
asynchronous I/O is very much a reasonable thing to do.

It just won't help with speeding up CPU-limited Python code.
