But how heavy is NSLayoutManager? It has a bunch of private objects so it's hard to judge from looking at the header file. Would it be a problem handing out several dozen of them?
Any time you draw an attributed string, it creates a temporary layout manager to do the drawing. Given that, keeping layout managers around is certainly more efficient than drawing attributed strings over and over, and I don't see why having dozens of layout managers around is any slower (what else could be the side effect of being "heavy") than having 1 in your case other than the initial creation.
