But keep in mind that threads are not free and there are a finite number available to each concurrent queue. You can experience unexpected delays if you abuse them. You may even get into deadlock. I'm not saying not to use that convenience method, but you should consider if your usage of it will be sufficiently light. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
