See "Timers" in "Timer Programming Topics > for Cocoa": Whilst the run loop has to have a regular input source in it, I don't think it needs to be processing any events. It's my understanding that timers will still fire even if nothing else is happening. I think the documentation is merely pointing out that if you're doing other work, such as what might be occurring in a normal application, a timer might be delayed by a few ms or more.
