My understanding is that this is single-threaded, and that NSApplication.run will handle periodic drainage of the default main thread release pool. That's right. NSApplication.run manages the the pool for you. You only have to worry about autorelease pools when you create new threads running Cocoa code, and when you a long time without looping through the eventloop.
