In places other than dealloc where memory needs to be released (e.g,

slightly delayed. Is there any other difference ? What is the right
thing to
do ?
Not a direct answer to your question, but: make sure you understand
the distinction between release and dealloc. Releasing an object does
not necessarily free the object's memory. It's possible you
understand this perfectly well -- I just wasn't sure from your wording.
