If you want to draw to a layer on a separate thread, you need to run the 
runloop on that thread, as Core Animation is pretty highly dependent on the run 
loop operating. If you call -setNeedsDisplay on a thread where you never run 
the runloop, then it is likely that the layer's -display method will not be 
called until the thread terminates, which is likely your issue.
