> The only advantage of uv is to have support for parallel async extraction. If pip extracted multiple files/wheels in parallel without being blocked by the GIL, pip could easily match or outcompete uv.
That sounds like it would be relatively easy to demonstrate: You could tweak uv to perform downloads/extractions sequentially and then compare its runtime with pip. Has any such comparison been done?
