I think the long-term ideal would be to have separate threads for IO devices that should wake up the CPU - keyboard, mouse, timers etc. Currently many of the IO devices hang off the main CPU emulation loop. We are working on tidying up the code for some of these devices - hopefully we can decouple them more easily later.
There's no real reason for needing separate threads, so long as things like the mouse and keyboard either generate signals (which will interrupt any sleep if done correctly) or are pollable via a file descriptor (so that select can be used instead of sleep) then it should be possible to sleep but wake up on any event that needs to be passed to RISC OS.
