UpdateSystemActivity() is seriously p***ing me off. Bloody iTunes uses it all of the time and it totally freaks out my AntiRSI timers. Apps that blow out fake system activity are just broken now.


Since reading joystick input from the IOKit doesn't seem to prevent the screensaver and when it activates (even though my app has captured the display and is rendering into a full-screen OGL context), it causes a massive hiccup in the frame rate inevitably leading to a "miss" (losing points in the game), how do you recommend this be done in 10.3.9 and higher?
