Huh, what polling?  I know this is not ideal, that's why there is a bug 
report.  All QueueAsyncCall needs to do is to wake up the main thread 
after it has queued the function.  There is nothing "broken in the 
infrastructure" as you keep saying, or perhaps you'd like to point us to 
some specific code you find problematic to explain your statements?
