The cocoa thing is the way to access advanced features like Grand Central
Dispatch (introduced in snow leopard) that allows an more effective use of
nowadays multicore processors by using queues instead of threads. This is of
tremendous help for CPU intensive tasks, like scientific computing, signal
processing, image processing, 3D imaging, etc... Not kid stuff, typically.
Optimizing open source computing code with these tools is a boost in
performance.
A first application would be naturally in externals, but runrev could benefit
from it directly.
See

for a short but good technical explanation.
Best regards
