[slime-devel] updating slime during idle time

Hi Slimers,

I've recently started running slime with clisp on windows. This works great for most things, but now I'm starting to do windows gui programming, and windows wants each program to have it's own event loop, which interferes with slime, which has its own server update loop. Unfortunately, clisp is single threaded, so I can only update windows events or update slime requests at a given time. Is there a function I can call periodically to process slime requests at idle time? Or alternately, can I add a hook to swank so I can pump windows events when slime isn't processing anything?

Many thanks for this great piece of software, and thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
