Description
In the pxd file, function needs to be defined as "nogil". In the pyx file the call must use the "with nogil" statement.
From Cython's documentation:
Note that acquiring the GIL is a blocking thread-synchronising operation, and therefore potentially costly. It might not be worth releasing the GIL for minor calculations. Usually, I/O operations and substantial computations in parallel code will benefit from it.
Revision ec1ce78 removes the GIL lock from the following calls: Initialize(), Shutdown(), CreateBrowserSync(), SetOsModalLoop(), QuitMessageLoop(), CefExecuteProcess().
Keeping this issue Open, as there still might be some functions from which the GIL lock should also be removed.
