I\'m having trouble with a slowdown that occurs in UITextView on iOS 7 when typing lots of text. I put a tracer in NSLayoutManager and identified that drawGlyphsForGlyphRange ru
Turn off Background App Refresh in Settings General. Also, get rid of NSLog--they slow down beyond what it takes them to print.
I was able to reproduce the slow down effect on iPad under IOS7. In fact IOS6 did not have Background App Refresh.
I believe Apple aims for top of the line models, all others have to adjust.
