Those three words/phrases strike a real discord.
Multithreading is not the same as multiprocessing. And you probably
don't ever want to update a window with a different thread than the one
that created it. Not that it can't be done, at least in some languages,
but that it's real rat-hole of problems.
The extra thread or process (with different problems to each) should be
doing the "logic is running" but NOT the gui.
