Is this true? When I invoke -localizedStringForKey:value:table: (or

in memory for use? Is the entire file read into memory, or
If it is kept in memory, it makes no sense for me to store the
strings in an array. Disk access is slow, but extracting a specific
string from a block of data already in memory is fairly fast. In
fact, when I load in 10 strings from the Localizable.strings file,
am I reading the entire file in 10 times? I can not image this is
the case, there must be some buffering happening.
The current behavior is that strings read in from a .strings file are
cached. I won't guarantee that they will always all be cached
indefinitely, but in general you can expect that subsequent requests
for the same string after the first will be fast.
