Are these long-running functions implemented in python? Otherwise they will 
release the GIL and your gui becomes snappy again.

A "simple" task that really needs threads?

Looking at my students learning python/programming, I would say using threads 
is already pretty complicated and not needed for a simple task.
(Of course if you get to know them, it becomes easier. But then you also know 
about starting processes and communicate via shared-memory/named-pipes/etc.)

Have fun,

Arnold
