In case of nogui there is no library, so you have the full control.
I need to do a system call to have the program wait and do another
system call to wake it. I understand that this is library dependent.
Not quiet.
OK. Not _necessarily_. But

Maybe this is not fully compatible with Application.QueueAsyncCall (if

I checked the code of TThread.Queue and in fact it does not queue the

We have multiple TTimers that need to be driven by a singe Time source.
Hence the necessary userspace /

Only argument: You fear it is more overhead. The only overhead I see is
an extra critical section, which is negligible when your

If you rely on the new TThread functionality you'd need to at least

Can I do this by a {$ifdef ... } ?
Better would be to write the code in a way that it works with 2.6.x as
well.
I can

Yep.
How does such an ifdef exactly look like ?
