NSThread or NSTimer

I understand that NSThread is usually used with multiple document applications or when you wanna use a second processor.

But for simple applications that just need some kind of update method, what should I use? I ask because I have the impression that NSThread will add better performance than if I use an NSTimer, although I'm not sure if this statement is true.

Again, I'm talking about simple applications that only have need one "update loop", for example to update certain interface elements.

For this kind of task, what's better, NSThread or NSTimer? _______________________________________________
