 Hi Tim

 Please also consider the QtConcurrent
 (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/threads.html#qtconcurrent) framework as an
 option. The advantage over inheritance from QThread is that the number of
 created threads automatically adapts depending on the number of cores.
 Furthermore it is more high-level and therefore simpler to use. And it
 does not require api changes in QgsMapLayer.

 The Qt doc about QtConcurrent is not as good as the usual Qt docs. I once
 wrote an example to render a tiled raster in threads with QtConcurrent. We
 may look at this next week.

 cheers,
 Marco
