I have an NSDocument that has several NSArrayControllers worth of data as well as a bunch of iVars. I can succesfully archive my Document's iVars and my ArrayContollers' contents, and I can succesfully implement NSDocument's autosave feature. However, and this is a design limitation on my part, whenever I archive a substantial number of objects from my NSArrayControllers (around 5000), my save operation can last upwards of 10 seconds (and there is another discussion to be had about that since I profiled it in Shark). This is unacceptable for autosaving as the UI becomes unresponsive. Now I can easily create an NSThread and run a save operation in the background to archive my data. But my question is this: what risks do I have in changing data to an object that is in the process of being saved?
