Well, it's not good to be doing that in the first place, generally. Although there are occasional exceptions, it's best to have one window per nib, and one NSWindowController per window. This has the advantage of lazy loading which helps performance and memory use, as well as better organization of the program. However, for windows which get used repeatedly it's entirely reasonable to keep them around rather than destroying them and re-creating them when closing and opening them.
