Hello..

Ahnyong haseo,

I have some codes which were written in Carbon and we want to make its performance faster. I found out that most of the time is spent by a series of FSWriteFork() function. So, I would like to use any method which is faster than that. fwrite is one option but I also looked up a Cocoa method, writeData message of the NSFileHandle.

Does anyone know if the writeData's performance compared to the FSWriteFork()?


You could try it, but I don't see how it would make a difference, since these close-to-direct I/O functions tend to be limited to the speed of the output device rather than the CPU, unless they take advantage of a certain feature of the file system in use (see FSGetCatalogInfo()). Instead, you should probably re-evaluate how much & how often the software is writing to the disk, or switch to asynchronous I/O.
