I haven't looked at the source, but does incoming net data come in via 
the main thread too? I ask because I've had my connection to an 
(admittedly busy) APRS server dropped by doing too many map zoom/moves. 
I watched the Recv-q grow larger and larger while it was redrawing, and 
when it was done, it'd lost the connection.

Getting net connections into a separate thread would be a plus because 
of issues like this. Threads good. :-)
