I thought I noticed this a few weeks ago, it looked like when the menu was selected, the items in it didnt update at all until the menu was closed.
What is actually happening is the timers are pausing entirely when the menu is open, even in the dev console you can see the "got mah ticker" messages stop until you close the menu.
Whether this is a problem NSThreads can solve i don't know, but i believe when I've done the network stuff in an NSThread in the past, the menu has updated live. Worth a shot if nothing else is the cause.
