Can you explain what wait 0 with messages does?

The Quartz rendering engine in OS X is a strange CPU-intensive beast. 
It's a good thing that 16 layers of alpha channels are absolutely 
necessary to get through the day, or folks might accuse it of being a 
waste of cycles. ;)

In many cases you can update Quartz faster than "unlock screen" by using

"wait 0 with messages".
