Interesting! How relevant is this to ObjC and your project? http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/MinimizingObjectOverhead
Unfortunately, I am not an expert on this issue. This discussion may give you some insight: http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.gnustep.discuss/browse_thread/thread/25821afbcec86d90/ca5e9e1a58ceca5b Objective-C is based on C. For performance, you can access the underneath C function and structure if you really want. And Objective-C do have a runtime (a GNU one and a Mac/NeXT one). So in some way, it is similar to some of the interpret languages. Yen-Ju
