Do you mean that you'd only make the "stripes" for rows in the table that
contain data? If that's what you want, then yes, doing as you say may be
faster a tiny bit faster. However, all table views and outline views that
I've seen from Apple (and any other app) paint all the rows in the view with
stripes, not just the ones that contain data.
In that case, on average you're going to be painting just as many blue rows
one way as you will the other way.
I don't really care whether blue is first or white is first, I can't even
remember how my apps do it. If you ask me, either way is just as good so
long as _ALL_ the rows in the table (not just ones with data) are painted
with alternating colors.
