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
