Response to: Memory leak
Thats correct, watch NSCFDate in ObjectAlloc while the program is running - it gets called all the time but the peak amount of times an object of that type exists is 1 meaning no leak.

Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.

  Oops sorry I forgot to watch CFDate and yes there is a memory leak.
  
  Here is my modified animate: with no leak:
  - (void)animate:(id)anObject
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSDate *date = nil;

while (YES)
{
[self stepAnimation:nil];
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
if (date != nil)
[date release];
date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0.04];
[NSThread sleepUntilDate:date];
}

[pool release];
[NSThread exit];
}
