Perhaps a silly question but what about plugins? Charlie mentioned in his paper that plugins run in a separate process.
Does the renderer also respond to draw requests from plugins such as Flash? So by running the renderer asynchronously from script, maybe one can allow it to respond more rapidly to plugins? Faster Flash perhaps?
