[Csnd] Is FluidLoad blocking?

Subject[Csnd] Is FluidLoad blocking?
Hi all, context for this is that I have say 4 huge sf2 files, so they take a nontrivial amount of time to load to RAM. I have their loading handled by an Initialise instrument, but because they take so long to load the first run, the score scheduling from c++ seems to get ignored when those messages come in while its loading the soundfonts, not a problem on consecutive runs (so I guess the soundfonts stay in RAM after cleanup??), So anyway I wrote a flag that chnsets 1 when the soundfonts are loaded, but doesn't seem to be working, which kind of indicates the fluidLoad stuff is non blocking, any ideas?

Above is the triggering in c++, below is the definition of waitForLoadedSoundfonts()

And below is what is happening in the Initialise instrument (instr 6) in csound
