Isn't this early example:

+ at racketblock[
+(define worker (thread (lambda ()
+                         (let loop ()
+                           (displayln "Working...")       
+                           (loop)))))
+(sleep 2.5)
+(kill-thread worker)
+]

... going to generate a *heck of a lot* of output in 2.5 seconds? How about something like (sleep 0.1) in the display loop?
