Consider an NSMutableDictionary of NSMutableArrays (where the dictionary key is the record size, and the array contains handles to each record).
Yeah I will try that. I don't think the memory footprint will go down, though.

It may, because NSArray is a class cluster, which means it is actually just a facade for a whole family of different classes. If your array is very large, Cocoa will actually store it in a memory-mapped file. This happens automatically behind the scenes. So it is possible that NSArray could help your memory problem.
