Load Multiple Strings at once?

Hello i am wondering would it be a good idea to load multiple strings from a resource at once. I was thinking of using STL std::map<int,std::string> to hold all the multiple strings and use a macro to find the string on the fly so it doesn't have to always call LoadString.

The Initializing function would be called on start-up to process all the strings

You *could* create a dictionary collection of strings, and as you load them, put the resource ID and the string into this dictionary as you load them, and then write a method that would first check the dictionary (by key aka the resource ID, or by string) to see if the string is already retrieved, and if not, get it from the resource file and store it in the dictionary for the next time.

I suppose there is no performance penalty in calling LoadString multiple times (if is performance that concerns you).
