I have a program that does plenty of disk-access and computation.
I would like it to run in the background. I tried putting in 
a few random "WaitNextEvent" calls in the proper location, but
this didn't seem to be enough. Any pointers on determining the 
amount of "Ticks" to put in the parameter?

Much thanks,

Peter
