Sorry, Wagner, I'm a little spaced -- I didn't realize your test included
getting the contents into an array! This is great.

No harm, no foul. :)

Here are some VERY interesting results. The simulator seems to be faster with bin and text, while the device is quite a bit slower with text, and
about even with bin and xml.

That the device is quite a bit slower than the simulator, in every case, is not a surprise, of course. I also think it shouldn't be a surprise that the device is quite a bit slower with text than plist (either bin or xml), since I suppose the device is optimized for plist. I am a bit surprised, though, that bin is slower than xml in the device. I was expecting the other way around.

Your times on the simulator are better than mine, so your machine must be faster than mine. I have a Core 2 2.0 GHz Macbook. I am assuming that you got these numbers using the app that I wrote, with no modifications. Or did you replace the dictionary I used with yours?

*From simulator:*
bin 0.206031, 0.231285
xml 0.479002, 0.433691
txt 0.296232, 0.213713

*From device:*
bin 5.760234, 5.628642, 6.457935, 5.068025
xml 5.651398, 5.428460, 5.525060, 5.096705
txt 8.951027, 8.817826, 8.784503, 8.539374


Thanks again, Wagner! I guess I'll see how it goes with plist.

You're welcome. Best of luck.

Wagner
