But either way suffers the same performance hit. So, my question is, does anyone know of a much faster and more efficient way of converting NSDates to NSStrings? (A possible solution would be to change my data model to store these dates as strings internally so that the conversion is already done when they come to be written to file, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.)
The fastest thing you can do is to store the dates in numeric format, for example as the timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate. (If time-zones matter, you'd also need to save the time zone offset or name as a separate field.)
