my iOS app runs smoother in 2.6 than 2.7. I don't use any of the cache as bitmap or bitmap matrix statements as that never helped my peformance before and usually made things worse. 2.7 is so bad that I can't use it. But seeing as how it doesn't offer anything that 2.6 doesn't already have... then why use it at all?

I'm interested in your findings.

What is your app and which aspects of it run slower under 2.7

The main reason to use 2.7 is that it has apparently been optimised to run faster, things like swipe gestures are more responsive (according to Adobe)

I'm not exactly sure what the slow down is caused by but I use a lot of timers and for some reason they've been going out of sync (I have timers fire one after another with low latency in 2.6). I think my problem may be caused by slower file loading performance but I am not sure. Here is an example script of mine that is very timer dependant (feel free to use and or modify it if you want):

With this class you can easily play mp3 files and or movie clips one after annother. You can also insert function calls and periods of silence.

Maybe I should make a movie of what is going on and you can then see it for yourself. If your interested I'll give it a go.
