What you mention here is a thread starving. Generally, there are 2
solutions you can think of:
1. Don't send message to UI thread until prevoius one was dispatched
2. Remove message from UI thread before sending a new one

The mode you choose is up to implementation and depends on how
important is message that is already in UI thread's queue.
