You can call EVENT-DISPATCH explicitly from your code to get
faster event dispatching. Programs that are purely event driven
can have toplevel functions like the following, for the fastest
event dispatching possible:

(function
  (lambda ()
    (loop
      (let ((form (get-next-queued-form)))
        (when form
          (eval form)))
      (event-dispatch))))
