Hello,

Last May (!!), I asked a question about a design choice: whether to use potentially hundreds of NSTimers, or to use a self-implemented queue driven by a single NSTimer. I said I'd get back to the list with my resolution, this message (better late than never!!).

There was some debate at the time about weighing up duplicating Apple's own code (debugged, tested and verified) versus potential inefficiencies of using NSTimers (and bugs in writing your own code).

I was thinking about this recently and recalled that there was some discussion that NSTimers had to be adjusted when the machine awoke from sleep. Given this, a queue with a single timer appears to be the best solution...


Thanks everybody for a great list!

Karl
