Getting Into the Details for Efficiency Sake

Today I had an other unsuccessful day testing my ticker plants against the open and the OPRA feeds. They were pumping out far more data than my code could process. It was working, but with all the changes required for the necessary functionality, I was falling behind, and it wasn't a great feeling.

I spent the day looking at things like making ivars protected and using them directly as opposed to passing values to protected setter methods. A stretch, yeah, but that's what today has been about - trying to find out what's up with the speed and why it was working fine before, and now it's really pretty bad.

I'll have to try these on Monday and see if they make any difference.
