At the April 2009 Platform work week we had a meeting on making necko support requests from threads other than the main thread. Here's some design notes on what we came up with.
== Do we actually want to implement this, or wait for multi-process necko? ==

The benefits are greater parallelism and reduced interference between the main thread and the parser thread (resulting in better UI responsiveness).
