The -stringByReplacing... method has to copy the entire string each time you do a replacement. You might be able to get a significant speedup making a mutable copy of the original string, calling -replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString: repeatedly, and (possibly) calling -copy to make a final immutable copy. Depending on what you're doing, though, it might make more sense to load the original string into the WebView and manipulate the WebView's DOM to update all of the counts and things. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
