It makes sense that I don't need to worry about speed with only four hundred rows. It just seems like good practice to avoid or minimize allocating memory in any loop. I have three or four other dictionary keys that also require release and alloc/inits messages to be sent. Also, I have another table that I'm about to start working on that will have 25 to 40 thousand rows. I'm wondering at what point I need to worry about the speed of these release and alloc/inits messages.

If you go above a very few thousand you may start worrying :)

Well to get a handle on how much time you are losing on allocation and deallocation try code like this

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
unsigned int i, j;

NSLog( @"Start");
for( j = 0; j < 10; j++)
for( i = 0; i < 40000; i++)
[[[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:1848] release];

NSLog(@"Stop");
[pool release];
return 0;
}

Takes 2 minutes to type and gives hard facts.

Ciao
Nat!
