It would require enough work that you might as well do the entire thing at the same time, which may be done in the future at some point, but wouldn't happen anytime soon.

If your data processing gets too heavy, you can always move it into /timers to lessen the load-- which would be similar to spawning threads. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"
