I haven't seen performSelectorOnMainThread before.
Should that call go into the selector method that's called? ie...

// This kicks off a thread
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(threadLoad:) toTarget:self
withObject:myArrayWithDictionary];

Now...

-(void)threadLoad:(id)param {
    // param = the myArrayWithDictionary object I assume
    // interogate the object and get vals, and then
    [myCell performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(setImage:)
withObject:myImage waitUntilDone:YES];
}

?
