Hi Wilson, I have some concern about the threads library while doing some testing in message app: - I added a tiny service with method doing nothing and call method while rendering messages, including requesting the message/contact/FB at the same moment. The callback returned successfully, but with a significant delay(about 3 sec, on flame/master). I can image the busy main thread might pend the worker return, but it there any way to tune it except put everything into service? - Is it possible to call other services in another service? Because in message app some service will access another service directly, but this lib seems unable to request other service as client in the service, but maybe I'm wrong...

I create a WIP[1] for simply launch the first view. Considering the communication might be affect if main thread is busy(see comment 1), I apply another solution that request and cache all draft at first and render thread when cache ready. This approach might introduce less change from current codebase, and the most important point is reduce the request draft service from requesting draft in every thread to only 1 time. The drawback is maintaining the cache and we might another async way to update thread. [1] https://github.com/steveck-chung/gaia/commit/66e60a32b62024910061458a77b6a08724d1894b

You're correct, we're having issues getting messages between threads when the main-thread is busy. I raised this concern in the last Gaia meeting and mentioned that I was working with platform to come up with a fix. When app is idle these communications are super fast. I'll keep you up-to-date, apologies for this :(

Yep

Hi Wilson, While playing threads lib with iframe thread mode, I could not make this service start up. To be more precisely, I add the small html markup and iframe as target. The test html contains threads lib for server side and a script with service method inside. But the script never load actually. I can't find any error message in the log, is there anything I might missed for setting a iframe service?

[1] - You should usually let the threads-manager create the iframe for you, but if that is not possible you can pass do stuff a little more manually [1].
