Check out "the cpuHogTicks" in the Lingo Dictionary - it applies only
to Mac's. Also, it may depend on how you are checking. For example,
if you are checking in tight repeat loop, you are probably not giving
the CPU enough time. If this is the case, you could change your
approach to check once every exitFrame.
