(catching up on the threads here; I was away...)

Have you considered the progress manager?  It doesn't solve the DmQuickSort
issue but does handle many progress-display situations.

An alternative method: if any of the *EventAvail() functions say there's an
event, perhaps you should use that as a signal to exit out to the main
event loop and continue the slow operation when you next get a nilEvent.
