Re: JTextArea append method doesn't always append

But it would catch up eventually, wouldn't it
Not necessarily. If you keep it busy in a sleep or doing some
computation, it will never be free to do service the GUI.
If you have anything substantial to do is a GUI computewise that won't
be done in a tenth of as second or so, spin it off on its own thread.
It then must communicate with the GUI components with invokeLater.
