CoreServices.framework among others are umbrella frameworks that
contain non-UI parts of the OS.
The other thing to point out about the Carbon file system UI is that
is allows for asynchronous I/O. AFIK, nothing else does.... This
means that a multi-tracking application can do all the disk I/O from
one thread.
It simply exposes such an API - behind the scenes asynch IO calls
actually create a thread and do a blocking call, then call you back
when it's done. You'll definitely get better performance doing the
threading yourself
