Keep in mind that the reason the `@autorelease` syntax is faster is primarily due to ARC optimizations (which don't apply here, since you're not using ARC).

Calling the `_objc_autoreleasePoolXX` functions are still likely to be faster than the NSAutoreleasePool objects, but only because you're avoiding the Objective-C message sends.
