Answer 1

Also note that your draw thread should never run faster then your update thread. Since if your update thread is not done with the current step yet, you will draw the same thing as before. While doing this you might miss the finishing of the update step, which in the end causes lower than optimal framerate.

(Remember drawing the exact same picture as before doesn't benefit anyone).
