UITableViewCells from a NIB - better than Apple's iOS 5 code
Reloading the NIB is expensive. Better to load it once, then instantiate the objects when you need a cell. Note that you can add UIImageViews etc to the nib, even multiple cells, using this method (Apple's "registerNIB" iOS5 allows only one top level object - one UITableViewCell. Bug 10580062 "iOS5 tableView registerNib: overly restrictive"
So my code is below - you read in the NIB once (in +initialize like I did or in viewDidload - whatever. From then on, you instantiate the nib into objects then pick the one you need. This is much more efficient than loading the nib over and over.
