I would phrase it more explicitly:
This function is now called by :c:func:`Py_Initialize()`, so you don't have to call it yourself anymore.

For benchmark results, see https://bugs.python.org/issue20891#msg308588 |
The GIL is no longer created "on demand" to fix a race condition when PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread.
Remove also mention of the "thread support", since thread support cannot be disabled anymore.
Make the assumption that the GIL is always created (by Py_Initialize()).
