Don't bother. Cocoa is quite explicitly designed to not support
event processing on any thread other than the main thread. No
amount of "trying to isolate" Cocoa functionality into a thread will
make it work.
To empasize this point. Consider, for example, the method
performSelectorOnMainThread:. We use this API in several place to
ensure that functionality is performed on the same thread that is
processing user events. If code were able to change the thread
responsible for handling events willy-nilly, that kind of
functionality would break badly.
