That depends on what happens in synchronize, of course.

The change as planned will be the following:

If the main thread does a waitfor() in a loop, it will be with a timeout.
If timeout is reached, checksynchronize() will be called.


I will see about adding a hook mechanism for this, in which
'processmessages' or so can be done.
