//These tasks are processed on the three spare xbox hardware threads, they are
//processed in the order they were added.
//Processing the animation usually completes before the rendering finishes.
//(the rendering is not delayed waiting for the animation to finish).
//
//However, when sorting the actors get drawn in an unpredictable order,
//this means the last actor added could be the first actor to draw,
//in such a case, the chances of it's animation processing having completed
//is *very* low. When this happens, the rendering thread has to switch to
//processing animations, delaying rendering.
