Yeah, this was another option we discussed (the 'marshalling' option as we
called it :-) ). Was deemed too slow as it would reduce performance of games
using a single-threaded rendering system (the vast majority of games).

The problem with that is either you know beforehand that it will be
multi-threaded or it's too late (as once you detect it, you cannot go back
as your context is already taken by the other thread).
