I think in this case it would be better to evaluate using more loosely coupled 
coding, e. g. by using a producer/consumer design pattern. Have the receiving 
end run in a separate thread that can react immediately and chuck the data 
into a data structure that then can be updated in the GUI whenever needed.

Some knowledge of software engineering can be helpful here.
