Fritz Anderson's comments are very important, in that you do not control the
state of your animation in the drawRect: but instead handle that from a calling
method (like the one in your controller which is called from your timer).
drawRect: is not fully under your control nor should you try to d

I just had a look at the NSAnimation class document and it actually suggests
very prominently that, because of the limited capabilities of an NSAnimation,
an NSTimer be used.
I also just went back over the architecture of my app with Uli's comments in
mind and have discovered that I think I am
In a situation similar to yours, I ended up replacing the NSTimer with an
NSAnimation. The animation I was doing was way faster after this tiny change,
plus the user interface was not blocked at all. I refresh my animation 30 times
per second now without any negative effect for the user. I think

Maybe.
The thing that's key is that you do not run the event loop - it runs you (we're
in Soviet Russia now). It also runs any timers which are attached to it. Timers
do not (and can not) run the event lo

Thanks for the education. The way you suggest is what I did pre-OS X and

Actually, no, I'm not trying to mimic user interaction but that's an idea worth
thinking about.
The program demonstrates how to play Chinese Mah-Jong as described in A.D.

Are you trying to mimic user interactions with Cocoa UI?
If I understand you right, it might be easier to do it with accessibility API,
so you can write a normal Cocoa App and a write another app to mimic user
interaction to this cocoa app.

What are you trying to DO?
There's nothing wrong with using
Correct, by your say so, or not if the timers don't drive the program it just
sits there and does nothing. Human intervention is required to configure it or
cause it to quit.

I have a demonstration app that is basically operating on a 0.15 second timer
loop. The problem I am having is that even with a periodic timer going off it
is very difficult to get menu events and mouse clicks in window controls
through to be processed. I have tried setting up an additional flow
