Just a note: the current "parallel" implementation is not really
parallel either: 'find' indeed runs in parallel, but the process
filter functions in Emacs only run when Emacs is idle, so if the user
types very quickly after invoking find-dired, they will not see the
results until they make a break in typing. And our threads work in
the same manner, at least in principle, so we should be good running
the Lisp implementation in a non-main thread. Of course, until
someone actually tries that, we won't know whether there are any
obstacles: the devil, as always, is in the details.

Sure.
