I've run into a situation where I really need a deep copy of an object. I've implemented this using Apple's recommended approach with NSKeyedArchiver/Unarchiver, and it's nice, simple, and functional. But it's also pretty darn slow -- as in a clear, subjectively apparent performance hit. Has anybody had to find a way around this, and if so, what did you do? Or if anybody just has a nice, creative thought about another way of doing it, I'd love to hear about it. The object(s) being copied are custom classes, and there's a chance I may be able to get away with copying only certain properties (i.e., rather than archiving the entire graph from the root object), so I'll look into making a "deepCopy" method that's more selective. But I'd appreciate any thoughts in the meantime.
Thanks in advance. J. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
