[todo] NSTextStorage and mutable strings with more control

Reported by rsms | January 7th, 2011 @ 12:44 AM

There're an increasing number of tasks in Kod which suffers or will suffer from practically unnecessary copying of data back and forth. Also, the NSTextStorage implementation uses expensive kernel-calling locks to employ synchronized access to shared memory.

We should (I hate to say it) roll our own NSTextStorage at the least.

Maybe even get inspired by WebKit and provide a high performance internal buffer interface for large chunks of data: http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/WebCore/platform/mac/PurgeableBufferMac.cpp and http://web.mit.edu/darwin/src/modules/xnu/osfmk/man/vm_allocate.html
