Comment on iOS 4, Why You So Slow? by Andy

This is _the_ fix for the poor 2D drawing performance in my iPad app. I can’t take advantage of this excellent advice without thanking you. Please keep up the good work.

I find it alarming that such an inferior approach as using CGContextDrawImage is not only part of the standard API, but is even recommended by authors of textbooks on the subject.

Big thanks Erik!

I got it working with blocks. Or at least I think that I got it working properly thanks to your instructions.

I’m quite new to Cocoa and Objective-C.

Also big thanks to mundue!

You just typedef a block that has the same signature as the succeededAction SEL, do the same for the failure case, and clients of the connection controller pass in blocks rather than specify SELs. In the didFail and didFinish delegate methods of URLConnection, you invoke the appropriate block rather than a SEL.

If URLConnection took blocks instead of a delegate, blocks could obviate the need for the helper class altogether, since you would define unique blocks for each URLConnection. But without blocks you really need something like what Mundue demonstrates in this blog post.

Thanks. This is really helpful.

Could someone show how the blocks-implementation would look like, please? Thanks!

Good question! Up to now, most of the projects I’m working on have to run on iOS 3.x, so blocks are out. Would be nice to have in more modern projects, though.

Why not use blocks instead of SELs?

Thanks! I don’t think the video or slides are available (yet) for all the sessions. Check out http://360idev.com/session-videos.

There’s an older post I wrote last year about ad mediation, but it’s probably out of date http://blog.mundue.net/2010/09/optimizing-adwhirl-revenue. Neil Inglis has also written a good primer on the subject: http://www.neilinglis.com/2010/07/20/using-adwhirl-to-achieve-high-fill-rates.

Wow! That’s great. Congratulation on 3 years! Is there a tape or blog post that goes with your talk in the Austin 360iDev conference? I wish I could talk to you and figure out how you do it. I’ve been working at it for almost a year now and haven’t been able to make it full time yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
