You might look at the pulse demo on the display tab in test-gtk for an example of gtk "timeout", as they call it. You could link that to a custom function which runs the long computations step by step. This might be ok if the long computations can be broken down to smaller atomic units. Then you could have something like (mapc #'iterate calculations) (setf calculations (remove-if #'done calculations) where calculations is populated by the c?-with-iterative-solution macro. Oh, and you need to write iterate and done. Or just use threads (from bordeaux-threads) in c?-calculate-in-thread and let the system figure out the scheduling.
