This tutorial demonstrates the use of custom separate callback queues that can be processed independently, whether in different threads or just at different times. This callback gets called from the main queue processed in spin()

The SubscribeOptions structure lets you specify a custom queue to use for a specific subscription. You can also set a default queue on a NodeHandle using the NodeHandle::setCallbackQueue() function.

AdvertiseOptions and AdvertiseServiceOptions offer similar functionality.

Start a thread to service the custom queue

Now do a custom spin, to demonstrate the difference.
