My remark was that what should be emphasized is coding in a
more performance aware style, no need to switch languages.
Objective-C is a C superset in name, but not in spirit.
Objective-C/Cocoa is to a large extent a parallell universe. If
you want to go for performant C you have to drop down to
CoreFoundation et al.
Don't blame a library, for a language layer what matters is the
language grammar. :)
