I have tried threads without sockets and I got the slowness I described
earlier. What I initially tried to do was run gtk in one thread and tk in
another. Threading works in the same process I believe so that would solve
the component communication on its own without needing sockets.
If the threading was speedier I dont think I would need sockets at all. I am
resorting to sockets because the threading doesnt seem to be working
coorectly or is just too slow.
