A follow-up: I've experimented a bit with using the thread sleep
approach, and it seems to work reasonably well.  According to top, my
processor utilization never really gets above 40%.  I simply put the
following code at the bottom of my loop:

[NSThread sleepUntilDate: [[NSDate date] addTimeInterval: .01]];

Not a big deal--I just wanted to post that for generations of future
cocoa.mamasam.com searchers who might have the same question :-).

I would still be interested to know about alternative approaches if
anyone has any better ideas...
