I haven't tried this but how about this:

Instead of writing the routine to do your entire computation, write a
routine that does a small piece of it. When you recieve an event
triggering the computation, set up a TIMER event. Each time the timer
event happens you do a little more of the computation, and set a new
timer event, until the computation is done.
