Summary

This thread takes care of writing history to the database, so that the UI isn't held up while that happens.

Extended Summary

It waits for the HistoryManager's save_flag to be set, then writes out the history cache. The main thread is responsible for setting the flag when the cache size reaches a defined threshold.
