This isn’t really polling as much as taking over the runloop and filtering out some events. There’s nothing really inelegant about this—it’s the call that powers the tracking loop in most of the controls in AppKit. If you really wanted, you could shuffle off the events to another thread for processing later.
Also, if you use the run loop correctly, it will block until your timeout is hit. Which is much more well-behaved than busy-polling.
OTOH, I hope you're not getting GUI events on that run loop like mouse clicks, because I don't think that's supported from multiple threads, so you may get odd crashes doing that.
