I merely use project-find-regexp as an example of an important function
that uses call-process. The goal is indeed simply to have other
unrelated code keep running. And to be able to paste in other X
clients. And be able to call project-find-regexp (and other
call-process using functions) from a Lisp thread.
Changing project-find-regexp to use asynchronous processes would be
nice, but more work, requiring more design effort. Running processes
synchronously is fine, if it doesn't block unrelated code.
