But emacs is blocked anyway. At least with the code as it is today,
while TRAMP is spinning the cpu waiting for ssh to respond, emacs is not
responsive to any user input. In a perfect world we'd block on the read,
and then go back to the emacs main loop to do other stuff, but that's
hard for all the reasons you know. If we don't go back to the main loop
(as we don't today), then we don't lose anything by a blocking read. You
know much more about the internals than me; is there other work
happening between the checks during our non-blocking read?
Thanks!
