Precisely what I was looking for! Thank you. Seems like every time
I write the list, I find the method I was looking for was right under
my nose. Forgive me.
Regarding the debate on responsiveness vs data processing, and the
proper use of threads vs processes: suffice to say that there is no
one master design that works best for all situations. Threads,
processors, and run loops all have their role.
As I said in my mail, I think in many cases a worker thread or
process is overkill. Sticking with one thread and one process can be
the simplest solution to get correct while still preventing long
freezes in the UI --- and that is the most important thing to me.
Anyhow, thanks again for the help everyone!
Niko
