Right now the metronome looks at the system timer many, many times to determine when to sound the next click. There must be a better way to do this and maintain timing accuracy. The current code destroys lower powered systems.
Update (6-15-12): I've got some code that drops the CPU usage down to almost nothing. I also discovered a slight memory leak and that seems to be patched up nicely after jogging a few lines around. Should have the code pushed soon. Going to play around some more.
