Multithreading with AdvancedWebServer?

[PeterAJansen]

Thanks for your contribution, as someone new to the ESP32 environment this set of WebServer examples was really helpful!

In using AdvancedWebServer, I have a bit of javascript to reload the SVG every 250msec, and then added in some quick code to receive data from a sensor and populate the graph with this data. Every 2000msec the data is read and stored in a buffer, and on request for the SVG the contents of the buffer are used for the Y values instead of the random values. I believe the code to read the sensor is fairly light weight (tens to a few hundred msec).

I've noticed that when actually reading real values, the server ends up missing most of the requests. It seems to work a bit better when reducing the update from 250msec to 1000msec, and placing the server and sensor code in separate FreeRTOS tasks doesn't appear to help much.

My question is: is there a canonical or suggested method for pairing this webserver with other tasks that require non-zero time, so that it doesn't miss requests?

thanks again,
Peter
