I use nanosleep in a non-main thread (when dealing with some twitchy USB hardware that locks up if I send it commands too quickly), and I timed it mostly out of curiosity. I found it to be shockingly accurate--sorry I don't remember the numbers. Of course, I'm on an 8-core machine, and results may well be very different on dual-core with a busy user... -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@killerbytes.com http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
