My Warp Life implementation of Conway's Game of Life updates its model
- a square grid of bits - up to 8,000 times per second, but

Just to be clear: don't do that. Use CVDisplayLink.
In Apple document QA1385, in Listing 2, describing how to drive OpenGL
Rendering Loops 10 years ago, an NSTimer, repeating every 1 millisecond, is
added to an app’s run loop [1]. Referring to this timer, the text says that:
"When vertical synchronization is enabled in your OpenGL application, d
