Hi,
maybe you can use a thread and set the thread priority low. I never
tried it, just an idea.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSThread_Class/Reference/Reference.html#/
/apple_ref/occ/clm/NSThread/setThreadPriority:
I think, that this a better design, because the main thread can
interrupt the "idle thread", if the idle thread takes a long time and
would block the app otherwise.

Is there a way to handle idle time in an NSApplication? In Win32 or
Carbon, since you manually write the actual while loop that processes
the events, this is pretty easy to do. Is there anything like this in
Cocoa? I've got some objects whose state (possibly) needs to be
updated, and I was planning on handling this in the "idle" handler.
My other idea, if this is not possible, would be to simply have a
timer that fires off every 0.5 seconds or so.
Thanks
