#xcode tip:

If you have big JSON files in your xcodeproj that you always accidentally click on and cause Xcode to beachball for 30 seconds...

Right click a json file, Open As -> Always Use -> Hex

Xcode can load json as hex instantaneously.

Time Profiler instrument tip: look for functions with a high Self Weight value in the call tree view. Those functions are the ones where your app spends the most time.
