Forgot to mention: When you *really* have an NSAttributedString (an immutable object), -copy can even be optimized out and be the same as a retain. OTOH if the string given is an NSMutableAttributedString, -copy actually creates an NSAttributedString from that (you'd have to call -mutableCopy to get an NSMutableAttributedString out instead). So there are a lot of factors, including who created the string and how, that influence the retain count going through the very same code.
