Disadvantage of using NSMutableArray vs NSArray?

Viewed 12719

I'm using an array to store cached objects loaded from a database in my iPhone app, and was wondering: are there any significant disadvantages to using NSMutableArray that I should know of?

edit: I know that NSMutableArray can be modified, but I'm looking for specific reasons (performance, etc..) why one would use NSArray instead. I assume there would be a performance difference, but I have no idea whether it's significant or not.
