I think you must be doing something wrong. NSTimer should not be lagging.

Usually a fraction of a millisecond, never more than 100ms in my testing, and more than 10ms is rare. And again, as has been pointed out to you REPEATEDLY, if the firing of NSTimer is lagging because your main thread is busy doing something else, you're not going to be able to update your UI anyway. -- Scott Ribe [email protected] http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
