Isn't this issue closely related to user interface performance? If
all the windows lock when one is reflowing, that is a serious problem.
Faster performance is important, but being interactive is important
too. Waiting _slightly_ longer is fine with me as long as I maintain
control while I wait. Couldn't interruptible reflow be used to
service user interface events in a more responsive fashion? The front
window could take reflow priority, and in each window the chrome would
take priority over the content.
