A static flag means storage, and in addition, to be totally safe, that implies a lock to synchronize access. So a little more overhead overall.

The typical "one-time only" implementation looks like this:
@implementation MyClass
+initialize {
    if (self == [MyClass class]) {
        // do something once
    }

mmalc also pointed this out in another e-mail. I've been using this pattern
already for +initialize in my NSControl subclasses. I plan to use this
pattern for all my initialize code (some still use a static flag).
What is the reason to prefer this over a static flag?
