idle waste

If I have a Cocoa application just sitting there doing nothing, how much CPU time does it waste? A lot, some, not much, negligible?

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?

Thanks!
