As discussed in "Stuttering at 1 Hz rate" we now know that regular and
unpleasant stuttering is caused by Nasals garbage collector.
So I thought about possibilities to improve it.
What if we could decouple the following function as a separate thread, so
that it runs *asynchronously* from the main thread?
This way it would not interfere (or much less) with the main thread and our
fps would be more consistent.
This is the function causing the jitter:
In "simgear/nasal/gc.c"
static void garbageCollect()
The thread will need to share some of the global variables from the main
thread.
Unfortunately I have no experience with thread programming. But I'm sure
there are some skilled programmers in the FG-community.
