Convenience ≠ performance. The autoreleased factory methods are very convenient when you're using the result temporarily, so you don't have to remember to release it. But when the point of the call is to get a reference, and you're not releasing right away anyway, it's just as easy and more efficient to use alloc/init. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
