 * provided here. Calls made by the plugin are not gauaranteed to be
 * synchronized against this dispatch queue, so proper synchronization should
 * be handled by the caller if need be.
 *
 * Please note: The dispatch queue provided here should be used only for plugin
 * related work. Kernel calls, or calls that make take some time should be done
