I am going to duck and cover but... A cooperative multitasking model circa 1984 could solve the problem nicely :->
The apps would need to register a main event task to an OS task manager. Then, based upon the various calls back to Cocoa, the software which was not "front most" would unknowingly release processor. If a cooperative task got greedy, the OS Task Manager would just take back the processor and hand to next... All under a single kernel process OS Task Manager... Or better named "WaitNextEvent()" (ok, now I am running...)
Lol
