hey guys,
So I finally got all updated to the new 108 version( I updated from v1076)
To my surprise load times were almost double, and on the Ipad (1st generation) the app dropped to 25 fps from 60 fps

Is there any new tricks with the new version that I am missing? It is strange that it had such a big drop in FPS when I didn't change a single thing (besides updating AGK)

Any help is greatly appreciated as I am close to releasing the app
I am sorry I cant post any of my code because it is a rather large project and is going to be a commercial app

Do you use the render command or drawsprite so replace them with something else.
They are alot slower now.

Its 3d that messes it up
My editor went from 30 fps to 60 by doing this.
Replace sync()
with this!

Try the command SetImageSavePixels(0), this will skip a loading step that makes the image manipulation commands faster. Namely CreateMemblockFromImage, CopyImage, or SetImageMask. This only applies to single core devices like the iPad 1 as the other devices do this step in a background thread.

Cor - Are you really going to release stuff using a beta system? Is this wise?
