Basically as I'm fetching objects from the database, I post notifications or update an NSProgress object which should update the UI, but that just doesn't happen if I don't use the dispatchQueue. When database access is happening on a background thread, I'm able to post notifications to the main thread to update the UI. But if database access is happening on the main thread, those notifications don't run until after and then it's too late because it's over by then. Basically I just see no progress activity until it's done.
I also have bindings to my model objects that display things such as the name of a form or the name of a field. So when KVO updates those from a background thread, that's where the crashes happen as it's trying to update the UI because of the notifications.
