Maybe set up a change queue or simply lock the interface to changes while processing occurs. I have a feeling the first option is almost impossible without dramatic changes to the code base and the second option would give the appearance of the program being slow or locking up. Though if processing speed increases sufficiently that second idea might not be too bad.
For what it's worth, is the interface changing dramatically? There's been a subtle push in certain levels of software development away from the "classic" menu-driven WIMP-interface to ones that allow and give more direct visual clues. GCA could easily lose its menu structure in favor of a modal button-driven interface.
