While a thread is drawing your view, the thread can't do anything else. The entire view hierarchy that shares the thread is frozen while your view is drawing. If you need to do a drawing operation that is inherently slow or CPU intensive (in human interface time scales, this means most animation with a high frame rate or 3-D rendering), you need to do the computations, or even the rendering, in a different thread of execution.
