A Question on estimating +arrayWithCapacity

Folks;

Under some circumstances I'm not sure how big a mutable object might need be. So is there any guidance on coming up with a value for capacity?

Assume for these cases that reasonable guesses range from say 2 - 5000...

I assume it's wasteful to just do a land grab with +arrayWithCapacity: 5000 but I also assume that it's unnecessarily burdensome to do +arrayWithCapacity:2.

So is the 'best' +arrayWithCapacity:2500?

It feels a little like premature optimization, but I do have to provide a value in the code.... Thanks for any feedback! Steve _______________________________________________
