Sure, it is, and I'm already using this right now. The problem in my specific case, however, is that my application is a scripting language. The user is not forced to write scripts using a waitEvent()-based model (although he is encouraged to do so). The user may also choose to poll and hog the CPU. That's up to the script. > If your code is truly polling without sleeping, it’s going to be a > horrible citizen in terms of battery life and CPU hogging.

It is possible to hog the CPU, but I don't recommend it, obviously. -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:andr...@falkenhahn.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
