My suggestion is based on using the serial device in blocking mode and 
not doing much extended work in the "driver" thread, just handling the 
basic protocol to receive a block of data.

So there will be no "tight" loop in the thread.

The important point is that there will be no "tight"  or long winding 
loop in the main thread as well, as same works strictly based on events 
(fired by the GUI and by the "driver" thread.
