    <p>having real problems with a very unresponsive (OSX) app. When using about 3K (Core Data) objects, the app freezes during startup and save, and when adding new managed objects.</p> <p>When I dig into the call tree, using (Instruments) Time Profiler, most of the time seems to be spent sorting array controllers. During startup, half of the time goes to NSUndoManager, which observes notifications while array controllers are setting their content...</p> <p>Is the array controller sorting while new managed objects are being instantiated? Do I need to put sorting on hold? Could NSUndoManager be the culprit?</p> <p>More importantly, how does one go about analyzing something like this? It could very well be that I have some sort of exponential sorting going on, by which I mean that when one array controller sorts itself, several other array controllers may needlessly start re-sorting themselves too. </p> <p>The datamodel I am using is fairly extensive. Also, I have about 30-ish array controllers in 2 .xib files, some of them managing the same class-type.</p> <p><a href="http://pragprog.com/book/mzcd/core-data" rel="nofollow">Marcus Zarra's book</a> on Core Data has been very informative, in this context especially the chapter on optimizing Core Data. </p> <p>Also, <a href="http://cocoawithlove.com/2010/02/finding-cause-of-simple-performance.html" rel="nofollow">this article</a> by Matt Gallagher is pretty impressive, although the issue I'm having probably isn't related to code that needs to be optimized.</p> <p>Any and all tips are welcome, I am pulling my hair out here. Could you point me to some tutorials or books that could help me out? Thanks.</p>

    1. CODo you need the undo manager? You can always set it to `nil` and see if it's an improvement . . .

    2. COGood idea. I checked the [undo architecture docs](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/UndoArchitecture/UndoArchitecture.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000010-SW1), but it isn't clear to me at which point during startup I should be doing this.

    3. COI set the NSUndoManager of the managed object context to nil, both in the app delegate's init and awakeFromNib. No real improvement in both cases. Time Profiler does not show NSUndoManager to be involved anymore.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
