Forcing an external application

["M. G. Slack" <slack@starbase.mitre.org>]

I have an asynchronous (wrt mcl) application running that I would like to force
execution of from mcl.  The idea is to force the cpu to give the application
cycles in such a way that there is a minimum of overhead associated with the
context switch.  The other application has only the barest of interfaces and is
typically performing some action depending on the last apple event received.

Any clues.
