Basically if your applications event queue isn't serviced by your
application (usually managed by NSApp using the main thread) after a
short amount of time (2 seconds?) the OS will put up the spinning beach
ball. In general one should attempt to avoid having it displayed (use
secondary threads for longer processes). Also it is best to show a
progress bar or spinner on you GUI in situations like this then the
beach ball... most folks using Mac OS X consider the beach ball a sign
of a hung/broken application.

Hi,
Cocoa uses a special mechanism to find if the application is busy. You
don't have to set the cursor yourself.
