I think it's a bad idea to (ab)use tab views like this. Whatever the number of configurations (N), you will have (N * N-1) wasted instances of tab view UI content views. I agree with the proposition that one should not worry about performance until it's measurable, but in this case it's really just as easy to have a blank slate into which you set a view loaded from a specific nib.

Two things:

1) I think that's a completely irrelevant "optimization" (At least as long as we - like in this case - talk about a limited and reasonable number of configurations.).

That said, if that's how you want to spend your engineering resources, you could always:

2) Keep the content views of the individual tabs in the tab view in separate nib files that are loaded when the user first switch to the tab.

A tab view is IMO an excellent UI element for something like this. It basically provides all the subview-management for you, so you don't have to write any code to do that.
