You could also use [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:yourTimer forMode:NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode] and avoid another thread altogether.


Interesting... I hadn't thought of that. Don't I have to add another timer to the NSDefaultRunLoopMode though? If I have to chose between having two timers on the main thread that alternate, or one on a secondary thread, I think I'll go with the extra thread.

I don't believe so; I've used it in an app of my own with a single timer to avoid the same issue you're having, with no apparent ill effects.
