It seems that you didn't read what I wrote. Synchronize always blocks 
until the given method was executed by the main thread. So even if your 
method is empty there will be a delay until the mainthread processes the 
synchronized method. And the more busy the main thread is (e.g. updating 
the GUI) the more time it takes until it can process a synchronized 
message. Also multiple Synchronize events will be executed in multiple 
runs of CheckSynchronize runs, because the "queue" in pre-2.7.1 can only 
hold one element. In 2.7.1 the queue can hold multiple methods enqueue 
by Synchronize and Queue.
