... which can be used for ObjC-objects at the time being. Those G5's
can have more (actually *MUCH* since we are, matter of fact, not
speaking of the memory, but rather of the address space, which happens
to be *vast* with a 64-bit CPU).

The rest though is completely valid -- such a big number of retains
does not feel right, whatever the task is. As joar perfectly stated,
either the task or the tool (or both) are not quite right :))
