I have actually 18 XIBs + 1 MainWindow.xib. They are like 18 forms in
Windows Mobile application.

But on iOS, the MainWindow.xib load just Login XIB. After login the Home Xib
is loaded. After that, depending on each user action another xib is loaded
as navigation action or popup or "form" popup. With a structure really like
Windows.

The difference than Windows is that the main form is the home form that
loads login form before everything. But on iOS it is a bit different,
because my MainWindow.xib isn't home nor login, but it load Login.

All run smoothly, no delay more than 2 seconds apparently to run the
application. (On windows mobile 200Mhz it takes really moreŠ).

Is that wrong?

I agree, this is a matter of design.

Every time a xib is loaded at runtime, it loads everything it contains. So
if you have for example, 10 xibs which are all inside the MainWindow.xib...
they will all load at startup.
