Don’t prematurely optimize. Try it and see. How defaults are implemented is hidden - it may be a disk write or it may not, that’s a detail you don’t need to consider. If it turns out it’s really slow, and that is a problem, then worry about it. I suspect you won’t have to. —Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
