[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I mean that emacsclient is sort of rendering thread while Emacs server is sort of hard working part.

I have honestly never looked at the code for server/client so I don't know how separation is done. I ment it more as a logical view of those.It would be interesting to learn more about it  though if some dev who is introduced in internals could a line or two and explain how responsibility is divided between the two.

Isn’t emasc-server/emacsclient already already that?

Yes and no. The emacsclient do too less work to be a worker. Ratio of their work is 10:1? I would it to be 1:10? Workers should do most heavy work.
