Queueing provides responsive user interface. The Swing event thread dispatches events from the AWT event queue (in blue) handling interaction with the user and the display. Data access and rendering tasks are placed in a task queue (in green) and executed on a separate thread. The results are rendered to an off-screen buffer which can then be rapidly copied onto the display by the UI event thread.
