I believe that that's a feature of svgalib: the application can choose to
be suspended when virtual consoles are switched or to continue running. It
might be possible to detect that the Speccy is loading or doing something
else boring or interactive and allow it to continue in the background if
this is the case, but it's been a while since I've done anything with
svgalib.
