I just had another thought. Are you using linked lists? I suspect those are rather bad for the unarchiver, since it's likely to end up recursing all the way down the list, resulting in O(n) stack depth. That is, during -initWithCoder: for an item in the list, it'll be asked to unarchive the "next" property, which ends up calling -initWithCoder: for the next item in the list, and so on until it hits the end and can finally unwind the stack. If so, it would be a lot more efficient for the archiver if you stored the list as an NSArray, since that allows it to instantiate one item at a time (breadth-first instead of depth-first, basically.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
