iOS where to keep images & sounds

[tiltem]

I am creating an app that will have a fair amount of small sounds and images, maybe 90 sounds and 200 images or so. Should these be stored in the in the apps resources folder, or should they be loaded into the apps Documents directory for performance reasons?

If the documents directory is best, do I just copy them over on launch of the app? Or what is the best way to do this?

Thanks!!

It makes absolutely no difference to performance.

What is too big for an app? If I have 20mb worth of images and sound, is that too much? What is too much?

There are plenty of games that are 200Mb+.
