Yes there are condition variables because I need to sync the threads.
Syncing isn't the only goal to achieve the application needs realtime
capabilities. And AgsGuiThread does overtake gtk's main loop. And Gtk
iteration function is sometimes greedy that means it doesn't fit into
the time period which causes some real bad latency.
I'm expecting of pthread_suspend that it can reduce the latency.
