Indeed. And if you can/aren't already, use a binary plist. And load
the data in a background thread, to keep the UI snappy.

Without any additional information, I would suggest instead using Core Data and a SQLite store. This will allow you to load your data on- demand. (There may be reasons why using it may not be appropriate here, but in general if you're dealing with any reasonable size dataset in a pure Cocoa application, you should typically be using Core Data.)
