I would like get some input on when to use a single NIB and when to
load up other NIBs manually.
E.g. there is a PreferenceController example in Aaron's "Cocoa
Programming for Mac OSX" that does load the preferences NIB manually
when you click on the menu item. What makes me wonder is - why not
just include that window into the same MainMenu.nib?
Simple answer - Everything in the nib gets instantiated when the nib
is loaded. If the user never chooses to show the preferences all that
stuff to do with the preferences window would be wasting memory. Also,
the less stuff you have in MainMenu.nib, the quicker your app will load.
