So I can use a lock to implement the pause -- neat. Just acquire the
lock in my main thread and that will stop the worker thread from
continuing until I release it.
However this still requires that my worker thread poll. And doesn't
take care of quitting the worker thread. Any better way?

I have implemented pausing and terminating in a worker thread

make the worker thread pause/continue or exit from my main thread
so I don't have to do the polling?
NSConditionLock?
