display.newText bad performance

#21

i will try to do some more tests with different corona sdks…

for now its just simple that i test my calendar on my old app zapping from month to month

and with the new corona sdk its around 25% slower. as i did last year some tests already with newText()

i just can think about its the same issue…

anyhow… will do some more tests and if i can share a clear reproducable result i will let u know for sure

greets

Wow, the tip with localizing the font like 

  1. local sfb = native.systemFontBold
  2. display.newText( “222222222222222222”, 0, 0, sfb, 16 )
  3. or even assigning a variable (here sfb ) instead of mentioning native.systemfont in every new.text line saved me around 100 KB of my allocated Memory, which is a lot. Before i had 2200 KB, now around 2100 KB of allocated memory. Thank you. Its a great tip for all new.text users. Please Corona improve the newtext API (Speed + memory).
