For me, loading soundfiles into arrays is a big one, so this wouldn't help that. It would be nice to have a a background soundfiler... I just that's the idea of that threaded soundfiler...
It seems like you could have an "asynchsoundfiler" object that resizes the array if applicable, puts the array into shared memory, forks a new process which fills the array, and then emits a bang when the process exits. The only inconsistency you would be looking at resource wise would be a partially filled array, which could cause an audio glitch, but the person using the object could avoid inconsistencies by not using the array until the bang comes out.
