FWIW I created a quick test app using NSTimer and didn't notice any lag at 
first but there was noticeable drift after a while -- not huge, but noticeable. 
 This makes me suspicious of the docs that Steve Sisak quoted earlier, which I 
was counting on:

I'm trying again, this time creating a new NSTimer each time as suggested by 
Scott Ribe.  Will let it run a while and see if I notice any drift.
