I'm doing some animations using the UIView animation and presentModalViewController. Through the simulator it looks fine but on device its rather choppy. Even fairly basic views for example a viewController with a UISearchBar, UITableView (empty) with a a custom color and a button on the nav bar is jerky when animated through presentModalViewController.
I've tried loading the view into memory on App load and then present it when a button is pressed to see if there is a difference but its the same outcome. As a note I'm creating the objects in code and adding them to the viewControllers view, I'm not using nibs.
There are a couple of views that all I'm animating is a task bar or an alpha property and these animate fine.
Any tricks that might help? Is this something that would be fixed when actually releasing the App?
