Don't optimize in the dark! Implement something in the most straight forward way you can imagine, and then measure the performance. If you find that it doesn't perform well enough, use your measurements to guide you to a better implementation. I don't think that we have enough information yet to provide really good suggestions. Also, "hundreds of short text strings" doesn't sound all that bad. Will the display update a lot (many times per second) or not? If it will need to update, will the strings change, or will they just move around? j o a r _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
