Frankly, if it's just a table of 100,000 NSNumbers pointing to 8- character strings, CoreData seems a little excessive to me. The table can live in RAM and it shouldn't cause any problem.

Why does it seem excessive?

Once you understand its concepts, Core Data is quite easy to use and it's not a heavyweight framework, especially for something like this where you just have a couple related entities that you want to fetch from a read-only store at runtime. It's great at persistence as well as object-graph management (to refer to another thread).
