Description
Thanks to the great work by @minrk in https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel/pull/290 restarting a kernel cleans everything up correctly.
However, when the `ProcessPoolExecutor` is still running the kernel restart is very slow (~30 seconds vs 2 seconds normally).
```python
import concurrent.futures
import asyncio
executor = concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor()
ioloop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
def simple_function(x):
import time
time.sleep(10000)
return x
tsk = ioloop.run_in_executor(executor, simple_function, 0)
```
