Brian,

Just realized I misspoke.  The invokeLater() and invokeAndWait()
methods are invoked by the GUI thread, their main purpose is to
synchronize access to Swing components (from other threads), since
Swing is not thread-safe.

You can do the necessary processing in a separate thread, then call
invokeLater() (with a Runnable) to perform the GUI update.
