+// what to do within waits: we have 2 cases: from the main thread itself we
+// have to call wxYield() to let the events (including the GUI events and the
+// low-level (not wxWindows) events from GSocket) be processed. From another
+// thread it is enough to just call wxThread::Yield() which will give away the
+// rest of our time slice: the explanation is that the events will be processed
+// by the main thread anyhow, without calling wxYield(), but we don't want to
+// eat the CPU time uselessly while sitting in the loop waiting for the data
