i was trying running application with instrument tool. but it collects so many data. so i am confuse where to look exactly in order to optimize my app. is there any best start up guide or any best practice.
hope my question is genuine and clear.
Edit: attaching sample image from instrument.how to interpret this data.alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/7c99370ca9.png

In the leaks bar you see the orange spikes which show you the occurrence of the leak (the point in time it happened); the blue below it is an indication of the total leak amount which builds over time – you see it continue at one level for a while after the first leak, then you have the second leak and the total leaks display grows.
To get more detail double-click on the items in the list view. You will drill down to more levels of details and hopefully come to a view which will help you find the leak. But it’s nowhere near as easy to see what is wrong as the little blue arrows that you get with a static analysis build…
The best approach I think is to make sure you are running Snow Leopard, the latest Xcode and start using static analysis. Since I started using it I found leaks in older code that Instruments hadn’t revealed (probably my fault in not using it correctly, but anyway…) and I have found no new leaks in new code. The worst thing about it is false positives but it certainly kills leaks.
