I'm a little confused as to where the support code exists. Right now it is part of the J session and the user interacts through standard browsers. I thought it would be in a separate J session which then provided the modifiable interface for display, whether it be by this second session or to a browser. As now more and more PCs have dual or more processors it seems that more resources could be made available to the application processing by offloading the user interface to another processor or possibly another processor.
Then again, normal processing is interactive. The user does something and waits for a response. The application waits for the user to ask for something, does it, then waits for another request. Seldom is there overlap. I guess I would prefer to not have the clutter of the presentation included with my application even though it might be hidden in other locales.
