What's the performance like for the XIB loader compared to loading .gorm/.nib 
files?  Specifically, is it sufficiently fast that we could consider using XIB 
as the a native format?  On OS X they're compiled to nibs for backwards 
compatibility (old OS X doesn't understand the format) and possibly for 
performance reasons, but if we could load them directly then it would make 
porting OS X apps a lot easier.
