Yes but when it is threaded it will make less of a difference. How 'bout you add it to the wish list and consider adding after threading is added/enabled? I think if speed is an issue for those who want to speed up their checks they could run a separate installation of Salive (since it is reasonably priced) just to check AV updates a couple times of day (since more seems unnecessary anyway).
I did not have a high level of interest in the AV check anyway. I do however have a high level of interest in Salive and it's flexibility/capability. Thank you for your consideration of the matter.
