Writing to the debug log can cause an unbounded delay due to disk IO.
This is particularly so on embedded machines such as the Raspberry Pi
that run on SD cards. These log writing delays can cause problems for
the main processing threads.
The new "queuelogger" code forwards all the main thread log messages
to a queue, and a background thread writes the log messages from the
queue to the destination file. This eliminates the IO delay from the
main threads.

Some details on the code flow and organization have changed since
support for ARM processors was added. Update Code_Overview.md
accordingly.
