How to cache Facebook friends list using iPhone application

Question

I am developing iPhone application which contains the facebook connect as part of it. I am using third party API FBGraph to retrieve the Facebook friends list.

Currently my problem is that, when there is huge number of friends in list, it takes much time to load those. Its loading again and again when I navigating through the pages and come again.

In order to avoid this, i am trying to use caching concept. But I am currently stuck with this. I dont have clue on how the Facebook friends list can be cached.
