Cocoa is generally SLOWER than Carbon,

This is *NOT* true.

Frankly, the most prominent Cocoa apps I have on my iBook are
also the slowest apps I have.

iCal is a horrendous, bloated dog. Unaccountably - it does far less than
Pencil Me In did, but is much slower and RAM-hungry.

Mail is awfully slow. The new Preview is slow. ProjectBuilder is a bit
slow.

OmniWeb is slow, unfortunately.

I'm starting to wonder if using a lot of frameworks kills performance,
somehow. Or maybe excessive use of multithreading?

I don't think it's due to the Objective-C runtime. I don't think it's purely
due to the dirty-rectangles thing, because non-graphical processing is
also very slow.

Something just ain't right in the bowels of Cocoa these days.
