Anybody experience slow button reaction/moving to new screens using ui.lua and director.lua on WP8? Basically when I click the button to go to a new screen it takes about 8 seconds but some screens don’t take as long.
This seems to be related to the text on the buttons. I switched the “emboss = true” to “emboss = false” which helped a bunch.
Text rendering is extremely expensive on WP8. The only work-around is to use a bitmap font library or creating/using an image that already has text embedded in it. Have a look at our documentation via the link below for more info about this topic.

Also have look at the following forum thread on how you can use bitmap font with a widget button. This might be a suitable replacement for you. Or you can use a similar technique with your existing button code.
