Very good idea, definitely.
Two threads would be good enough--one for background and
one for forground.  That would handle a lot.
For now im using queried functions instead of plain ol'
take-as-long-as-you-want-to-return functions when the
need arises for multithread-like behavior.
It's a little harder but it works.

Is that general enough?

Take care for now,
Al

P.S.
 Keeping an eye out for another update on the File Manager
