Thanks a lot for your response(s). To me a queue suggests that you have lots and lots of tasks arriving from the producer , which you need to buffer in queue, so that the consumer can work on it one task at a time. But in my case, I really have just one task, so the queue would - at most - contain one task at a time. So, why not start the task right away using NSThread or NSOperation? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
