Greetings netters,
	I am soon to be having a look at a MacApp-based project that runs
very slowly, too slowly in fact to take to market as is. I was wondering
if people here have any suggestions or brilliant ideas as to how to speed
up MacApp code in large projects. I have an idea that the speed bottleneck
is due to many (thousands?) of small objects being continually allocated and
deallocated, but I'd be interested to see what other speed-up ideas people
have.

*Please* e-mail me any replies, as I get mail three (3!) weeks faster than I
get news items. I will summarize the results to the net.

	Thanks in advance,
