Yes, FFI blocks the whole VM while a functions is being called. However, if
and only if the database client library supports asynchronous queries,
SqueakDBX will work asynchronously. Basically, we do a loop where we ask the
backend if the query was ready. If it was not, we do a yield (we let other
process of the image to run) and then continue the loop.

Eliot implemented a multi-threaded FFI for Cog but so far I am not sure if
it is already working.
