I haven't decided yet. I'm basically just trying to understand how to
deal with the user code loop so that the ASYNC I/O event won't be
interfered with but the user code still gets processed. Basically I
was thinking process a line of user code (interpret & process the
line), wait some time, next line of user code. Where in the end the
loop would be run n times/second.

Something similar to Mr. House and Perl (which is pretty much
synchronous). I'm not used to doing ASYNC in this manner.
