Whilst it probably is a bad idea to use an NSTimer to solve the problem described, I don't believe that using it would put any burden on the processor at all. If there's nothing to do, the thread will suspend itself; it won't churn CPU cycles waiting for the timer to fire. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
