Image Processing Makes Livecode Appear to Crash

[Alex Tweedly]

Or make it time-based rather than number-of-times-through-a-loop

put the millisecs into t1
repeat ....
     if the millisecs-t1 > somenumberofmillisecs then
           set the cursor to busy
           put the millisecs into t1
     end if
     ..... do something useful
end repeat
