Python 3.13 may be released with an option to disable the GIL: https://discuss.python.org/t/a-steering-council-notice-about-pep-703-making-the-global-interpreter-lock-optional-in-cpython/30474

Currently, the Python GIL forces Pandarallel to split workers over processes, with slow and expensive inter-process communication.

A version of Python without the GIL would allow Pandarallel to split workers in multi-thread mode.
It would avoid this inter-process and data duplication, and thus it may introduce a potentially massive performance bump!

Let's keep an eye on it!
