It seems to me that the Switcher could be modified to jump between
tasks, running all of them (thus concurrently).  It already saves the
screen, and perhaps it would only redraw one screen (the process youre
currently working on).  The main drawback I see to this (and this is
becuase or despite the fact that I am new to Mac programming) is how
to determine a check for input.  But that task doesn't seem
insurmountable.. Any ideas?
