iOS Performance, Labels/Textfields vs PNGs -


just working on ipad app significant amount of text , wondering if use uitextfields , uilabels more of performance/memory hit using uiimageview png of text.

in cases text animates, cases static.

thank you.

update: taking marc's advice did little digging new xcode project. here experiement details:

test 1:

  • brand new single view template xcode project ipad (not using storyboards)
  • one image view centered 678x828 image of paragraph text (36k image)
    • the custom fonts , stylings baked image.

the result: 756kb of live bytes & 842kb of live bytes w/ retina png

test 2:

  • added second image view different paragraph (699x749 82k)

the result: 767kb of live bytes & 854kb of live bytes w/ retina png

test 3:

  • took same copy , added 4 uilabels
  • styled fonts match fonts of baked in png
  • embedded custom fonts

the result: 965kb of live bytes

test 4:

  • added 4 more custom text labels same text & style second image view

the result: 1024kb of live bytes

from angle appears using pngs baked in copy , styling has lower memory foot print , scales better. quick & dirty experiment.
