I think I could work out how to run the the Listener on another thread but
don't know what blocking calls are. Is that where you tell the thread to
sleep for a short while?
No - it's where you make a call (Read, Accept etc) that doesn't return
until it's read some data, accepted a connection etc.
I don't see how accepting the calls asynchronously would help a great deal
as it's not the calls that appear to be the problem. It seems more like the
fact that because I have no idea when the next call may be sent, The listener
has to sit waiting all the time.
Yes, the listener has to sit waiting for events - but if you use a
block call, it can do so without looping round, and if you do it in a
different thread, it won't make the UI freeze.
