Abstract
In one embodiment, a first thread of execution on a computing device receives a user-interface input. The first thread of execution is associated with a user interface of the computing device. The first thread of execution identifies a second thread of execution on the computing device to process the user-interface input. The second thread of execution is associated with the user interface and is de-coupled from the first thread of execution. The first thread of execution sends the user-interface input to the second thread of execution. The second thread of execution also processes the user-interface input to generate a user-interface output associated with the user-interface input.
