Do CC threads run inside the normal game loop?

Do CC threads run inside the normal game loop? Or are they run in parallel?

[SquidDev]

All Lua code is executed on a separate thread(s)¹, as this means misbehaving computers do not stall the main game loop. Some logic is executed on the main thread (for instance, peripheral calls), but these are normally quite fast.

1. The number of threads can be configured with the computer_threads config option. ↩

Thanks! This is great news! As the "singlethreaded" nature of Minecraft means I have ~6 cores idle at all times and can give those to CC.
