Smaller a nib, faster it is to load, and less resources it consumes when loaded. So objects that don't need to be loaded together should usually be placed in separate nib files and loaded on demand.

For instance, TextEdit's main nib file has the menu; a second nib file has the document window (and is loaded once per new window creation); and other seperate nib files hold the find panel and the preferences panel. It's not unusual for larger apps to have dozens of nib files.
