Hi! Here are a few questions I would be interested in knowing the answers to, if somebody knows them: How can you estimate the memory usage of an instance of an object in a program, beside using NXWriteObject and looking at the file size ? Is it the size of the declared instance variables plus method selectors, or are there some additional headers ? Are there any limits to the number of instances of objects and to the number of loaded classes in a program besides simple memory limitations ? Is there any bottleneck in the run-time system when the number of instances/classes increases ? I'm thinking of order of magnitudes like about 5000 instances of 500+ classes/categories. Thanks, -Kjartan
