ObjC Optimization Tips
Over the past few weeks, I've been focus on doing performance tuning on a iPad app. A little background of the app It is an business app, doing financial investment. It has lots of moving parts on the GUI, user can drag, slide and flipping, a graph, and lots of numbers and dates. User can play around with different combination of input and see their investment prediction over few years. There were around 50 parameters (or more) that affects actual calculation result. The app has at least 8000 lines of codes just for doing calculation. The story The Product Owner has been complaining to the team that the app has a serious performance issue. It's sluggish and the financial result does not reflect user's interaction immediately (PO generally don't care how complicate you back-end is). The financial graphs took ~5 seconds to redraw on screen, when user is moving the slider, and they are moving it continuously back and forth. Tools I uses for this task.
