Hmm, not sure. Care to give more details? How do you decide how much calculation per intuitick? how were you doing it without intuiticks? > >Now the problem is, if I use the INTUITICKS trap, the WINDOW ALWAYS HAS >TO BE SELECTED!!

You can get input.device ticks, which are the ultimate source on intuiticks, by adding yourself as an input hanlder. NOTE: do as little as possible in an input-handler, else you can mess things up by slowing things down.
