Hi,

I have a NSMutableArray and need to add a number of elements to it,
and their quantity I know in advance (in fact, they come from another
array).

I think that if I add them one-by-one in a loop, the array will have
to reallocate its internal memory frequently. This seems inefficient.

I'd like to avoid this and instead have the array to re-allocate its
memory only once to increment the capacity by the known value.

I could use "arrayWithCapacity" creation method, but the array already
exists. It seems that the -addObjectsFromArray: method may be what I
need, but the docs do not make it clear if it's internally optimized
to do only a single memory re-allocation. Have anyone tested this?

Thanks,

Oleg.
