I would've thought that you would not need to call processEvents if you are
using background threads and sending update signals simply to refresh the
UI. The GUI is blocked by actual GUI updates?
In your example you have added actual work to the main thread which seem
will obviously block it... what is blocking the GUI your actual app?
