I accidentally hit "a" in my mailer instead of "w" ("reply" instead of
"compose"). Geez. It was an accident. I'm sorry.

I can already see that they don't have the effect I desire. They are
long numerical calculations in tight loops. I have to periodically put
explicit time.sleep(0.001) calls in place to force the context
switching, and I was wondering if that's the recommended method.
