Is evnt_multi() interrupted by a signal delivery like select() is?
Sure - these are completely different areas.
If yes, you could put the network stuff to a separate process that
signals the UI process when downloads are completed and uses
e.g. shared memory to share the data with the renderer.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Btw. After Google's Chrome browser started using process separation,
Firefox is now also going to same direction, moving plugins like
Flashplayer
to a separate processes and separating the HTML rendering engine process
from the UI that needs to be more interactive than the HTML content
rendering process can be...
I thought they'd use threads all the time.
