Best way to call async method from processBlock() loop?

I’ve got a heavy loading function that is occasionally triggered from the processBlock() loop. I would like the function to be called asynchrously as right now it blocks the audio. I’m looking at MessageManager’s void* callFunctionOnMessageThread (MessageCallbackFunction* callback, void* userData); …but I’m stumped!
