Well, yes, the UI thread gets the load (unless there is background/async
lookups too :)).  However in my approach there can be any number of
caches [1], and those caches can't really be guessed, so... but maybe
it's simply a bad approach.  Or the used caches could be hard-coded in
CTM so they never get created implicitly -- quite ugly but works).

[1] cache means:  a array of tags sorted by a given sort function.  Each
cache is then used for a particular type of lookups:
* simple completions (sort by name);
* scope completion (uses more than one cache, sorted by scope and name,
and sorted by type);
* etc. (I think there is a third one we use somewhere, can't remenber
what though)
