Can anybody tell me what's the point of creating your own autorelease
pools when Cocoa automatically creates one for you?
If you make a thread, the autorelease pool for that thread isn't
created for you automatically.
Or, if you write a Carbon app and use NSObjects in it, you also need
to make your own autorelease pool.
If you ever see a warning in the Console about "just leaking", you've
found one of these cases :)
It is also useful in cases where you know you will be creating large
numbers of objects, and want more control over object life.
Autorelease pools nest, so that if you create a new one, that one is
used until it is released. You can create one, create a lot of
objects, release that pool, and the outer pool still exits.
