Sorry my mistake.  This should have been:

on runTimer
 if not the uAllowTimer of me then exit runTimer
 send "runTimer" to me in 1000 millisecs # <--- 1 second
 put the long time into fld 1
end runTimer

...which runs lower in terms of processor use.  This is definitely a lot
less than sending 10 times a second, but the for me, the question remains:
is "send in" better to use than "wait x with messages"?
