Obviously, it takes a little more code to extract the strings from a
resource, so there is a tiny performance hit. But it can't be that big
because your app's resources are in memory so there's no big hit like you'd
get when reading from a file on a disk drive.

You can define your resource (e.g. STRINGLIST) in an .r file, which is a
text file you can easily paste strings into, and add that to your project.
See the forum archives for instructions on adding an .r file to your
project.
