Support multithreading for WASM gauges

For aircraft with complicated systems, having slow-running code on MainThread is a huge bottleneck to performance. Being able to run code in separate thread(s) would greatly improve performance in these cases.

Hello,

We agree on the benefits of multithreading for WASM gauges, and we plan to work on that during the upcoming year.

As we have entered 2023, is there any more news on multithreading WASM gauges?

Hi there,

I don't think it is that useful to bump every topic with the "multithread" keyword in it.

I have answered in the other topic: still in the pipeline, no ETA.

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo
