My question is: is there a good way for me to give the CPU a break and
make the computer more responsive during this loop without
compromising performance significantly?
A follow-up: I've experimented a bit with using the thread sleep
approach, and it seems to work reasonably well. According to top, my
processor utilization never really gets above 40%. I simply put the
following code at the bottom of my loop:
[NSThread sleepUntilDate: [[NSDate date] addTimeInterval: .01]];
Not a big deal--I just wanted to post that for generations of future
cocoa.mamasam.com searchers who might have the same question :-).
I would still be interested to know about alternative approaches if
anyone has any better ideas...
