Thanks for confirming that.

I don't think this is the case. I was seeing hundreds of still-alive allocated 
objects that came from the copied itemArray. I could clearly see a pattern in 
the Allocations sampling of Instruments of these objects, with the pattern 
repeating every time I did some user action in our app. And there was time 
between those actions, so if the autorelease pool wasn't getting any time to 
drain, there would be a much more serious issue at hand.

I'll look more at this tomorrow. I don't know why they only gave me 8G of RAM 
in this machine - Xcode loves to get all hoggy and slow after a few hours of 
serious building, debugging, and Instrumenting. Going home sounds better than 
rebooting right now. :)
