Matthew -

Assuming Kevin's work with multicore is done - would this still be an issue
at that time?

Perhaps a system thread can be instantiated and exposed via FFI so the FFI
call can live on a separate thread from the vm's main thread?

I am just thinking out loud.  You know what works or not much better, of
course ;)
