That sounds weird to me. Those operations should be very fast. What is it you’re doing? Have you made sure you’re not using any techniques that scale poorly (such as bubble-sorts)? Are you sure it’s CPU-bound, or is it the time to load the web page that dominates? (If that’s the problem, you can definitely make WebKit load multiple pages in parallel. > Does anyone have a suggestion how one would modify a HTML DOM on a background > thread?

If you use the tidy flag, it can parse real-world HTML. You might be able to use different instances on multiple threads. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
