Before you undo the optimizations to your app, you could try stripping
the nibs in your application package.
You can remove the classes.nib and the info.nib files from the nib
packages of you production nibs. You must leave your development nibs
intact or you will have difficulty editing them. Stripping these files
from your application package will reduce the application size and will
also prevent users of your app from altering the user interface.

Recently, I started moving my app's individual windows to separate
Nibs, as suggested by Apple's documentation to reduce resource usage
at runtime. However, I've found that the more Nibs I create, the
larger my app gets. E.g. if I take a window from one Nib and put it in
a new Nib, the final app size becomes larger with the 2 Nibs than with
just one Nib. This has made me reconsider creating separate Nibs for
each window. I want to keep my app size down, primarily because a
smaller app means faster download times.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Is it reasonable for me to choose small app size over optimized
resource loading?
2. Why do more Nibs mean larger app size, when they have the same
number of windows/panels between them?
Thanks
