This feature, asynchronous execution of XQueries, is something that I'm really interested in having as well.

And I'm willing to implement this within the next two months (probably sooner than that!).

I was thinking of a new function along the lines of:

	util:eval-async( ... )

which would return some sort of id for the spawned xquery that could be used to check completion status and obtain the
results of the execution. Same function signatures as the original util:eval() function to start.

Would this kind of new function meet your needs as well, Thomas?

Thoughts from the crew on such a new function?
