I have just tested dispatch_after() versus NSTimer and it turns out that you
were right: NSTimer is the better choice.

The dispatch_after version takes about 6 % more Cpu time, compared to the
NSTimer version.
Also the NSTimer version takes less code. Better on both counts.

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
