Re: Any way to determine where a string will be truncated?

Re: The cost of using objects rather than plain C variables

The short answer is yes the overhead of an object versus a primitive value is huge. The longer answer is that however tiny you think the difference might be, you need to multiply it by somewhere between 200,000 and 600,000 to really get a sense for the difference in context. For the same reasons t

Re: CALayer composition changes with frame position

How is the red rectangle drawn? I don't have any great insight right now other than the fact that the change you are talking about happens at a specific place. When the top aligns with the red rectangle. You might consider color space or something like that. Maybe (and I am most certainly guessing
