Exactly. Like, for example updating weather info - it shouldn't freeze
LS. The problem is with accessing common memory areas, it's easy to
make an access violation, though - like starting updating this weather
stuff and immediately displaying a popup - and if in the middle of
this displaying routine it will want to update labels, we have a
crash... So, some sort of threading mechanism and inter-process
communication in LS is needed - and I don't know, how it is done,
never checked its sources.
