Hi Fred,
What I meant here is that if you want to take advantage of the better
(but possibly unreliable) resolution of the sleep call you could write
a seperate Java Thread in which you perform your calculations which uses
the sleep() call. In the scenegraph you would have a behavior with a
wakeupOnBehaviorPost criterion and then in your calculation thread you
would call behavior.post() to update the scenegraph with any changes resulting
from the new calculation.
