There has to be some thread that is responsible for reading events. Perhaps a reasonable thing for a blocked thread that cannot process events to do is to yield to one that can?
The reason one decentralizes event processing into threads is so that once they are tasked to process some event they need not be concerned with event state. They are designed to process their event through to the end, then return to the top level and say "any more work for me?"
