Too many IBOutlets causing crash-Collection of common programming errors

I am making an app that has a lot of stuff in the nib file. I have a about thirty iboutlets that I connect to stuff I made in the nib. A lot of these are long scroll views with lots of text. I use both @property and @synthesize, release them all in dealloc, and set all of them to nil in view did unload. When I uconnected a bunch of the IBOutlets in the nib it worked like a charm, but obviously I need to have all those connections for the app to work. I don’t understand why having the connections in the nib causes it to crash. I do get a “Received memory warning” a bit of time before it crashes. Please help.
