So, that would be more for speed right? I must say that I'm not sure that
this approach is feasible because when you're gathering completions, you
actually want to use a different Python or Jython interpreter (and not embed
all into the Eclipse VM), and making it a Thread you wouldn't have access to
that.

What do you think?
