I have a infinite loop that drives my worker thread.
-(void) myThread
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool=[[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
while(![myThread isCancelled])
{
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] runUntilDate:[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:600]];
}
[pool release];
}
but sometimes these threads are taking so much CPU(50-100%) and memory(1.5GB). when i sample the application in this state, i got following trace

can anyone please help me out?

An empty runloop (a runloop without any input sources or timers) will immediately return from runUntilDate:.
If you want to keep the thread around and service it's runloop, you could just add a timer to the runloop.
Is there any reason you're not using libdispatch for your thread dispatching? This would avoid the troubles of managing the threads and runloop yourself.
