Yes, and this is what I was mentioning initially (here, I think, and on 
my blogpost about it). I just don't know how all this processing could 
be handled in a different thread. That way it would free the current 
threads and we could continue to work with the current instance while 
the processing is happening because as I mentioned, everything is still 
stuck during the processing.

Right now, async is really more about "feedback" than "asynchronous". 
However it has never been clear is it was possible or not, and if so, how :)

Any pointers on how this could be done in emacs?

Thanks,

Fred
