This document discusses memory optimization techniques for games, including reference counting, autorelease pools, and texture caching. It recommends avoiding loading individual PNG/JPG textures, instead loading textures from largest to smallest using the compressed PVR.CCZ format. Autorelease pools allow deferring the release of objects until the pool is drained, but they cannot be nested or used in multithreaded environments. Texture caches like CCTextureCache and CCSpriteFrameCache improve performance by reusing loaded texture assets.
