Apple run loops are more flexible and adaptable than this

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.gi...

via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3321587/anatomy-of-an-and...

but since Looper is OSS it should be improved. Here's an idea, make it customizable like NextStep/Apple's architecture. Be able to change run loops on the fly when scrolling, select on different input sources, etc. Could be as simple as that...

Or if you want the long answer, it could be NextStep's key design choices which have paid off over the past decade.... Might as well learn from them. Will really flexible run loops solve single OGL context issues? Probably not. But they might just make things less jerky...
