Patch update, 7/31/09 1:06 PM

To be perfectly blunt, I'm scared of more threading related changes...at the very least
until the stuttering problems I and many other people are experiencing. It's getting
sort of ridiculous and hard to test/progress.

Well, it seemed to work fine in the games i tried, and the patch looks good, although
i can't think of a game really benefiting from that, it still is waiting for the data
so.. at least i had better framerate during loading screens :P
However, just for the sake of warning fixes, it would be better to break in the loop
and return at the end of the thread.

Games don't necessarily do nothing while the read is in progress. The Metroid games
are constantly pre-loading the room beyond the closest door. If you play it on a real
system, you can hear the disc drive working as you move around the room. When you
shoot a door, the barrier goes down, and then the door opens as soon as the next room
has loaded.

This could also be the answer to slow GH:Metallica
