Adobe AIR Apps + Safari = Very slow

Question

Hi everybody,I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Adobe AIR Apps on iPad. I've tested several Apps now (one GPU-Heavy Game, one CPU-Blitting App, one pretty standard Puzzle) and all of them do have the same issue - as soon as Safari is running in the background it sometimes (not always.. and most likely on iPad1) slows my App down to 1fps. Until I close Safari again. I haven't ever seen any other App doing so, thus I believe it's an Adobe AIR bug. Maybe only on iPad though. Does anyone know why this happens or if I can get around of that? Besides my Apps run superfast.What I've tested so far is:- My memory usage is ~4mb. Doesn't seem to bother him if it's more or not- My GPU-Cache is held quite low (but even with empty GPU Cache this issue appears)- I'm using an Enter-Frame in all my apps which simulates the rendertick. Maybe this may be the fault?!Many thanks in advance,Marvin.

Okay, it seems as if there are some new findings:

- It belongs to any iOS system app (Safari / App Store / Settings / ...), but Safari is definetly causing it by 99%, the others are pretty randomly making problems.

- The slowdown only happens when the system app is running and THEN my game is started

- The slowdown happens as soon as I need some memory to cache images

If you like to I can send you a deploy once you message me your iPad's UDID. Maybe anyone has an idea.

Anyways, I'm going to make a video of that and post it in Adobe's bugbase. Though I'm still not sure if I'm the only one around with that problem.
