Re: [MACTCL] Aqua Tk 8.5/8.6 problem on OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Our app checks for "-psn" in the command line to
detect if called as an App, but this no longer seems to be emplyed ??

Hmmm - just what we need for our timer based problems.
Timer coalescing is probably going to take a lot of debugging for
performance critical apps.

FWIW, our 32bit carbon 8.5.9 framework seems to go ok
on the last mavericks beta (13a598)....

OpenGL/game performance seem to be affected by the OS upgrade too.

A quick fix might be to use the new timer APIs to request low jitter.  But one might hope that the bugs themselves might help point out more clearly what is wrong with the current impl.
