The problem is that it's synchronous. Putting the log importer on  
another thread is pointless if the calling thread is just going to  
wait around for it so that it can accept that BOOL return.

Solution: Make it asynchronous. Make it (particularly -importLogs)  
spawn a thread and then return. The thread goes and does the thing to  
the thing, then does a main-thread perform to call back the delegate  
with the results.

And once you make one of them asynchronous, we may as well keep them  
consistent and make the rest of them asynchronous.
