Tasking (Background tasks)?

[K]

I have read the Messages Mechanics stack and have a few questions.  

I realize that it is the accepted method of taking in the RR environment but I am wondering if there are not any simple cooperative multi-tasking constructs.  I am loading a significant amount of data using a repeat loop I would like at the approiate time to yeild to any other tasks.  Can I accomplish this by using wait for messages?  Has someone already built cooperative tasking API or LIB? Is it even possible.  Since using a WAG to dealy a function is contrary to many multi-tasking concepts.
