Threads?

[Alexander Panek]

Does the output really have to be with 50Hz, or do you simply want to 
trigger output with a frequency of 50Hz? You could start a thread 
everytime that puts that stuff onto the screen, while your main loop 
just continues.

Apart from that you could also use a seperate thread that outputs a 
stack that is filled up by your main routine.

How exactly do you ensure that your main routine runs with ~1kHz? Sounds 
quite need-to-hack-timer-interrupt-ish :P .
