Yes, when profiling tells you it is in a hot path. The compiler is conservative and anytime it has some doubt, it will retain/release an object. If profiling shows some that code where you now it is safe to avoid this additional retain/release is hot, you can help the compiler by using __unsafe_unretain to annotate the managed variable. -- Jean-Daniel _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
