This certainly can be easily done using a tab control. The downside is that
the entire NIB is loaded at once, adversely affecting performance/ resources.

Have you found this to be true in actual operation, or do you just suspect that it would be slow? I think it would take a very complex nib, with hundreds of controls, to cause an objectionable pause on load. Especially since it sounds like you'd load this when the application first launches and keep it around thereafter.


There are other valid reasons for using multiple nibs — it keeps them simpler and easier to work with — but don't let premature optimization alone dictate what you do.
