I've got a little problem using WPF Dispatcher Timer. On each timer tick my application freezes for a moment (until timer tick method finishes). This is my code:

private DispatcherTimer _Timer = new DispatcherTimer();

_Timer.Tick += new EventHandler(_DoLoop);
_Timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1500);
_Timer.Start();

Is there any way to avoid this and have my application run smoothly?
