NSOperation is a great way to schedule a distinct and largely none interacting operation. It is not a universal concurrency solution. I would drop down to NSThread in this situation. You have to do a bit more management but you get the control you need. Also NSOperation generated threads do not, IIRC, instantiate a run loop. If you want to message your thread using performSelector:onThread you will need a run loop.
