Is there a simple, low overhead way to periodically indicate activity to the system in order to stave off the screen saver, auto sleep etc.? I'm guessing there is but I don't know what keyword to plug into the API search to find it. I'd prefer Cocoa, since it's a Cocoa app, but carbon would work as well.

Search: <http://developer.apple.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?q=prevent+sleep>

Returns:

I haven't tried the stuff from that technote myself, but it looks
promising.

Or if that doesn't work, just jiggle the mouse! :)
