These numbers come from a test case with 140 objects, when I double the object number, the test never finishes (at least not within 10 minutes).
OK, I did some more testing and timing and there is a solution - which I don't understand:
Testing with 326 objects, adding each of the objects to the array like this
NSMutableArray *kvoArray = [self mutableArrayValueForKey:@"array"];
for (MyObject *obj in inputData) {
[kvoArray addObject:newObject];
}
This takes 580 seconds. Each add causes a chain reaction of events
that eventually adds a new NSView to the collection view. I've
experimented with setting the whole array at once using -setArray: but
that does not make any difference.
However, adding an auto-release pool does make a huge difference:
NSMutableArray *kvoArray = [self mutableArrayValueForKey:@"array"];
for (MyObject *obj in inputData) {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
[kvoArray addObject:newObject];
[pool release];
}
The same operation now takes 60 seconds. That's 10% of the original
time.
What I don't understand is why adding the auto-release pool has such a dramatic impact on registering observers on the objects. Anyone know why?
