That's a lot of questions to ask and currently I hardly can decipher the 
whole logic from this and the code below alone, too much is behind the 
scenes.

I'm willing to help out if you could post a more complete example or 
more accurate questions as e.g. "created 7 cells in main thread" could 
be done very differently.

Also a nit at this size of code (and for me it's unformatted) I'd 
recommend linking to the code on some paste service e.g. dpaste 
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/.
