The UI thread doesn't get any special treatment on iOS, so unless Android is deprioritizing its UI thread, it doesn't seem likely that this would be a problem.

Doesn't get any special treatment by Android either. All other threads get set to background priority (well, most, but all that we care about), which by default can only consume 10% of CPU resources.
