I was doing this but I had to use critical regions so much to avoid  
crashes that the preemptiveness was severly damaged. The solutions I've  
done are:
(1) Some tasks like reading stuff into a database I do with oner MPTask  
and the MainThread running the GUI, this works well as the only thread  
touching Valentina is the MPTask. Btw MPTasks are carbon threads that  
has some glue ontop pthreads to handle CarbonEvents.

(2) Things that needs to be async to the user , I launch separate  
working tasks that is vbuild like #1 here and does the work Async.

Now WHY do I do this?

Mainly because things like Flush() has to be semaphored, and can take  
several seconds, even up to alomost a minute sometimes, and during that  
period of time, The user would not be able to do anything at all that  
touches ANY valenina APIs, which wouyld render the app "dumb", as it  
would have to show some kind of "Busy" info.
