Paul,
Open a Terminal window, and type "top". You'll see how much CPU
time the various apps are using. Most cocoa apps get
approximately zero CPU time when they're idle.

I essentially need to write a UNIX daemon and would rather do
it in Cocoa since it has to have some minimal UI, but it will
be running all the time.
I will have an NSTimer running to trigger the stuff I need to do.
Bonus question: Does the amount wasted change if I have a
window with controls in it open?
Yes, if those controls are actually *doing* anything.
