NSOperationQueue is broken: http://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/dont-use-nsoperationqueue.html I am not under NDA at the moment, so I'll point out that 10.5.7 is rumored to have fixes for NSOperationQueue. If that bears out to be true, then by all means run with NSOperationQueue. If not, you might want to hold off until Snow Leopard -- it wouldn't be the first time that Apple engineers (or anyone else, for that matter) have tackled a bug but missed some corner cases until the next major release. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
