having issue on devices like iphone 4 with performance drops - any general hints on where you may have eeked out better performance for lower end devices?

I use Flump for all my assets/animations. You can export it at different resolutions. I always use 3 scales, 100%, 75% and 50%. You have to apply the scale manually on each sprite creation, i calculate the best scale based on resolution and devicepixel ratios. In general this improves the performance quite a lot, since rendering is most of the times the bottleneck.

OK - so BaseScale is 1, .75, .5 - do you worry about changing the value in the ScaleFactors column?

No, I believe only the basescale is used in Flambe's Flump runtime. I think the other will give a warn in debug-build.

Cool - I just set Flump up to export a 100% build and a 75% build to the same assetpack then only load only the 100% assets for desktop and only the 75% for mobile. Seems to help a bit on performance - definitely a nice reduction of memory being used.

So how is the performance now?

It is a bit better. I think the issue might be that I have a good bit of nesting in character clips, which might be slowing it down. With a current project I'm trying to make the asset stacks less deep. Hoping this will also help with the Flump JSON size which is getting out of control
