But any time one need to do anything time consuming in the GUI then it
needs to be done in its own thread ...

 
Note that “cpu-intensive” and “time-consuming” are not synonymous.
Something can take a long time to complete, but not require much CPU
time during that time, so running it in the main thread would be fine
and have minimal impact.

 
But how do you keep the GUI responsive if the event/main loop is doing
something that is time consuming??

The task waiting for the operation to complete blocks on a notification
back from the event loop that it can proceed.
