Are you using libc_r, or another of the threading libraries? 
Interactivity problems in applications can sometimes be attributed to
thread-level scheduling or locking problems, either in the application, or
due to the threading model.  I've found that switching to libkse makes
threaded GUI applications a lot more responsive, as the GUI can continue
to update while another thread performs slow disk I/O or the like.
