I think I understand your description, and I think I understand somewhat
how Emacs's code works in this respect, but I really don't see how the
two relate.

Presumably you're writing Elisp code using Emacs's process filters.
What is the concrete problem you're seeing that you're trying to solve
(your description seems to focus on *how* to solve your problem)?

Does Emacs take too long to react to some events?  Does its memory use
grow unreasonably?  Is the rest of the system affected?
