Sorry, Wagner, I'm a little spaced -- I didn't realize your test included getting the contents into an array! This is great.
Here are some VERY interesting results. The simulator seems to be faster with bin and text, while the device is quite a bit slower with text, and about even with bin and xml. *From simulator:* bin 0.206031, 0.231285 xml 0.479002, 0.433691 txt 0.296232, 0.213713 *From device:* bin 5.760234, 5.628642, 6.457935, 5.068025 xml 5.651398, 5.428460, 5.525060, 5.096705 txt 8.951027, 8.817826, 8.784503, 8.539374 Thanks again, Wagner! I guess I'll see how it goes with plist.
