- Ah, my deep dark secret. In fact Modeler is not busy-waiting, it is
- busy working. While you are not modeling, Modeler is taking care of
- reorganizing your data to give you better display feedback and other
- background housekeeping tasks. Actually, in real modeling sessions
- I've found there is precious little time to do even that, since the
- user is constantly getting in the way by making edits and redrawing
- the screen. Background rending while modeling is really not
- practical on a single machine.

- The sad thing is Windows people don't even know what we're talking
- about.
