How does autorelease pool optimization improve performance?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Autorelease pools reduce peak memory usage by releasing temporary objects earlier.
Deep explanation
Without manual pools, objects accumulate until run loop drain. In loops or batch processing, wrapping code in @autoreleasepool ensures early deallocation, reducing memory spikes and improving stability.
