Yeah ... It's been a while but I thought at one point it either
coalesced ticks, drop them, or did something else I didn't like -
possibly stall waiting for a run loop source that would sometimes
block longer than I could afford to let it. If it can handle things
real time-ish now then I agree it's a much better idea.
You'll likely just want to subclass NSApplication and override
sendEvent then. Dispatch based on ui mode and you're set. I think. Is
there something I'm missing about why you can't do this?

Bah! What's the point of sinking all that money into my video card if
I can't run Quake I at twice that speed! :)
Later,
Guy
