However, it is stated in the documentation that writing too much into the
pipe may cause a deadlock.

That is not necessarily a deadlock. It just blocks until the receiving
profess is ready to process more input. Of course you should process it's
output, cause if it can't write into its output anymore it can't normally
read from its input either ;)
That said you could write into the Input in a separate thread, this way
your GUI stays responsive.

Sven
