Re: Leopard performance penalty (3x slower), NSPopAutoreleasePool



Running your application with Leopard's Instruments.app and the object alloc instrument should make what's going on clear.

Run your app and when you see the big run up in the memory graph, select that range of time and see what object is being allocated more than expected.

I have a complex Cocoa application, 10.4 SDK (no GC etc). Loading a document (and performing a large number of calculations triggered by that) takes 4 seconds under Tiger.

Under Leopard, loading the same document takes 8 seconds until it displays, after which the application is unresponsive for another 4 seconds, the entire time being spent in NSPopAutoreleasePool.

I presume that performance penalty is largely due to Leopards more complex memory handling. Has anybody else observed this, and knows of any strategies to minimize that overhead?

Thanks
