1) why use instantiated objects versus classes (via class
methods)?
Because class methods other than +new return autoreleased objects,
which makes non-GC memory management a little bit easier.
2) Are classes stored in the stack & instatiated objects on the
heap?
In Mac OS X, everything (including classes) is stored in memory except
for function/method arguments, which are either stored in the stack or
in one or more CPU registers, depending on the CPU architecture and
the size of the data structure.
