rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Two years ago (!),

Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Physics pushes data to Rendering.
