Thanks. I thought if a thread calls thread-yield very often (e.g.
in ever iteration of a loop) then it lets the UI process pending
events every time it yields.

But if I understand you correctly, even if the thread calls
thread-yield explicitly, it is not a guaranteed that the UI
processes events and stay responsive.

If this the case then I wonder what the possible uses for threads
are.
