awe6 demo on Blackberry Playbook very slow about awe6 HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for report. I don't have access to a Playbook anymore so "gut feel fix" 
coming up ...

Try commenting out line 85 from demo.entities.Sphere (the view priority).  Then 
compile and retest.  Does the problem persist?

This is a hunch based on your encountered frequency of slow down.

No the view priority doesn't change anything.
But I think I found the problem, as soon as I comment out Game.hx Line #87
 _timer.text = _tools.convertAgeToFormattedTime( _age );
it's running at at least 40fps, sometimes even up to 55fps.

That convertAgeToFormattedTime seems to really slow down things. Are is it 
changing the text-value?

Probably nothing to do with convertAgeToFormattedTime, and more to do with the 
_timer.text (a TextField) being redrawn.  Please verify by assigning:

_timer.text = Std.string( Std.random( 1000 ) );

Yes that's the problem. I've tested it before, but with a static string. Then 
the TextField seems not to be redrawn, but now with the random number it drops 
to 1fps again.

Try commenting out cacheAsBitmap line 84 of awe6.extras.gui.Text.

Yes, that helps. It's now nearly constant at 35 fps. Just dropped to 1fps once 
during the 30sec game.
Thank you!
