Comment #10 on issue 265 by JeanPhilippe.bernardy: Slow pasting
http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=265

I'd like to add that in the presence of lazy evaluation, this is somewhat  
trickier
than it might seem. It might be that you think that the computation is done  
in the
"main thread", but in fact only a thunk is constructed, and all the  
computation
happens in the rendering thread, where the data is forced to its "linear"  
form.

This can be very useful actually: if we design things carefully (strictness
annotations), the syntax highlighter will run in the vty thread, without any
threading complication in Yi code.
