Lots of NSTimers?

G'Day,

I have a requirement which involves (potentially) hundreds of independent NSTimer-style one-shot events.

Could anybody advise as to whether it would be better to use (hundreds of) NSTimers, or build a lightweight version with a time- sorted queue and one NSTimer for the next event?

(I guess this has to do with the internal implementation of NSTimer - are they all checked every time through the event loop, or is a callout queue used?)


Thanks in advance!!


Karl
