Fredrik is right. Cocoa calls are synchronous. Since GUI updates are
secondary to sound-related activities, they must be on a
lower-priority clock, i.e., AppClock.

in my understanding coca gui calls from the lang are synchronous.
and this is actually the reason they're not allowed on the system
clock. they will mess up sound timing.
but maybe i misunderstood it all...

"Calls to the gui system from from the lang are asynchronous.". is
this really true for cocoa gui? you can't schedule changes on the
system clock, but that doesn't make it asynchronous me thinks.
Well, isnt't it asynchroneous relative to a Sytem Clock? Or is ther
another reason why gui calls do not work in a system clock? If i am
wrong please let me know.
