I am quite conservative in using threads, but in this case I do think it 
would be good. Moreover it would open other possibilities besides 
asynchronous socket usage.

Yes, I've tested that too, but of course this means that the blender 
drawing doesn't contain keyframes or a frame animation with which you 
want to interact. That is why I finally chose for the redraw hack which 
works fine within one frame.

Anyway these are hacks. A proper solution would be nice.
