That's a good point. The distinction I'm referring to is that,
typically, a VST idle task doesn't get scheduled at all if the system
is busy. If you look at VST2AU, it uses InstallEventLoopTimer, with the
result that response to user input becomes very sluggish when the
system is busy. But, doing as you say and exploiting the difference
between these two event loop timers could achieve very nearly the same
thing as a VST idle. I'll try it. Thanks.
