I think you talk about different things.

To avoid blocking in your RB code by some algorithm
You can always run it in separate thread, right?
Just this will add level of complexity



What REAL says about I think is that they add YIELD() call to own loops in
own plugins. But we cannot add this calls in KERNEL of Valentina because
kernel knows nothing about REALbasic.

And I will say this YIELD() is required because REALbasic AFAIK uses old
style corporative threading instead of 10-15 years modern way PREEMPTIVE.
