Possible performance regression

[johnezang]

No, I did not see any performance regressions. I typically do my testing on the x86_64 architecture using gcc-4.2 -DNS_BLOCK_ASSERTIONS -O2.

What architecture did you see the performance drop on? Did you use -DNS_BLOCK_ASSERTIONS? What optimization level?

Hey John,

I forgot to define -DNS_BLOCK_ASSERTIONS while testing. :)

Sorry for the false alarm. Please close with an "Idiocy" label. :)

Keep up the awesome work on all your *Kits (I'd love to see TransactionKit resurrected one day. :)

Regards,
Omar

Well I'm glad to hear that it wasn't an actual problem, as I really hoped to keep the JKSerializer object paradigm as it makes some things easier that I'm experimenting with. In particular, having an autoreleased object wrapper makes it easier to track resources and ensure they are released "no matter what"... like say if you added the ability for the user to "format" unhandled classes (i.e., NSDate), and the users code wasn't terribly careful and threw exceptions and what not. :)

As for TransactionKit... yea, that's a much, much more "interesting" project, but interesting and "lots of people use and like" aren't the same thing, or even remotely correlated. :)
