That's true, many calendar operations are done synchronously, on the main thread. It's to be done in upstream first (and is in my long term to-do). If you want, then I can do this particular function first and do the rest in upstream only, when the time comes; otherwise I'd just close this.
Let's do not do this, and wait for the upstream, when it's fixed. Only note that a backport from an upstream to rhel6.5 is undoable, due to move between 2.32.3 and 3.9.4 (current git master).
