Hm, so you're dispatching the loading to worker threads? Good idea, might speed up things (but I can't tell if it really is a bottleneck :) If you like, try our new benchmark functions :D

I haven't looked at benchmark functions yet, but this speeds up initial loading on my machine from around ~12s to ~6s.

@TheJJ Is that how JobManager should be used? There aren't too many examples in the code...

I'm just using enqueue() function in #749:

Btw, the GL stuff is still in the render thread? AFAIK, it should remain there.
