You want to have a "compact memory eventually" function in your CDA? 
Yes, you could use the scheduler, but you have no way to predict just
when the scheduled task will finally execute, from the user's point of
view (it would generally happen when the user gets back to the foreground
application & isn't inside any alerts or Standard File or ChooseFont). 
Also, the scheduler is limited to 4 pending tasks, so you may not be able
to schedule your task.
