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

Sadly I’m experiencing very similar problems when using UIImage drawInRect even on newer devices (read iPhone 4).

Performance is so bad that I’ve had to remove one of my apps from sale until I can get a fix from apple.

Logged Problem ID: 8291881 at bugreports.apple.com so I’ll post back if I hear anything further.

Thanks for all the info!

To answer my own question, after trying many things, I found what worked was to create a new CGImage each time the underlying data changed. When using the original CGContextDrawImage method, my data provider got called on each redraw so I did not need to recreate the CGImage. Still, this is a LOT faster!! Thanks.

Thanks, this seems to be exactly what I need. My problem is similar, except my CGImage data comes from a bitmap whose contents are created by a video decoder. Following your example works when the image first appears, but then how do I tell it when the contents of the CGImage have changed? I tried CALayer:setNeedsDisplay but then it stopped working at all. I already doing UIView:setNeedsDisplay. Thanks for any help; I am totally new to Core Animation.

Yes, in fact there is a radar bug, http://openradar.appspot.com/8134592. Several folks in the Dev Forums have reported similar slowness as well. Hopefully it will be fixed in the 4.0.1 update, or whatever is next.

I, too, would like to thank Matt for the opportunity! It also gave me an epiphany on how to better use advertising in our own free apps.

I have really enjoyed your report on reMovem. Having downloaded the game myself, I played it quite a bit and really enjoyed it. Good job on the design itself. It’s clean and simple. I still have it on my iPhone after all this time.
