I don't know, maybe it's you. There is one chapter specifically aimed at
optimizing Carbon programs. The rest of it looks like stuff that would be
good for any OS X programmer to know. The chapter "Analyzing Performance"
certainly applies to Cocoa, as well as most of the other tips. Some of it,
like the virtual memory chapter, is tilted towards people that are making
the transition from OS 9, but it still applies to everything that runs on OS
X.
Any optimization information that is extremely Cocoa specific will end up in
the Cocoa documentation, I suppose, but any such information that applies to
all Mach-o executables is apparently covered in this book. I don't think
they are going to come out with a Cocoa specific version. I believe all OS X
programmers should read it (although some of the more experienced may know
most of it already).
