Yep, eyetracking :)

Hyperthreading and dual core systems can handle this, right?

But first try to get it to work on a single core system :)

Lets asume I have a seperate thread for my gfx, in which I plot a hundred 
pixels(idle) (no swapping/buffering)
Will this loop(of pixel putting) never be interrupted by the main 
loop(critical)?
If this is the case, then I should just do some fancy stuff in one loop :)
