 A possibly NeXT-specific postscript question ... is there any way to
"nice" or otherwise reduce the priority/speed of a running PS context?
For instance, I have a program that just draws lines bouncing around
the screen ... but if I leave it running in a loop, it loads the machine
down too much. Some equivalent of "nice" to reduce the priority, or
"sleep"s that I could slip in here and there, would be quite useful ...
any postscript gurus out there know if there's a way to do this?
