Just wanted to update this old thread with a comment:

For developers, etc., you can still sort of run Sikuli actions in
background. The only requirements or limitations in this scenario are:

* need multiple monitors, with Sikuli set to use the default desktop
screen (the one with start menu, taskbar, etc.), the user can then use
the other screen(s) to do their normal work, while Sikuli is running at
the same time.

* Sikuli test/actions must (ideally) not manipulate mouse or keyboard as
you will hijack focus from the user during that action. This then limits
Sikuli tests to more of verifications (check/wait for image rather than
click or type on image/object)

* need decent CPU and memory to do this (probably the norm with most
machines today)

Another alternative is to run a virtual machine on the user desktop and
run Sikuli in a guest OS running on the virtual machine. The user then
performs regular work unaffected by Sikuli on the host OS. The only
issue is sharing of CPU resources between the OSes.
