This appendix describes techniques for optimizing Cocoa applications and finding memory leaks. A Cocoa application called LotsOfWords is developed and revised several times within the appendix to demonstrate various optimizations.

It could form the basis of a screen saver, but more importantly, the optimizations that apply to LotsOfWords also apply to larger applications. Finally, techniques for finding memory leaks are provided.
