That has nothing to do with single threading that shit, an Arduino could draw that image faster. Most likely something fails to start correctly and windows waits for a 30 second timeout to run out before continuing anyway.

Well yeah, the reply is obviously a joke. Displaying an image is a single threaded task regardless of the contents, and adding threads will just make it slower.
