It does--and I appreciate it. I didn't realize that there was no portable locking solution for thread safety in plugins; but, I suppose it makes plugins far easier to develop! It's sort of why I believe an out-of-band approach is probably superior. One process to scrape the necessary data and format it into an offline scraper that AEL can read. The UI blocks still blocks; but offline scraping can be super fast!
