One caveat:

-performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: is defined in the NSObject class, not 
the NSObject protocol. Since most delegates are defined these days like so:

@protocol MyDelegate <NSObject>
...
@end

there is no guarantee the delegate itself will be able to handle 
-performSelector:withObject:afterDelay. You can get around this though by 
declaring your class as:

@property(assign) NSObject <MyDelegate> *delegate;
