iOS Simulator games run very slow (low fps)

by

The Simulator is not a device. The Simulator uses the Mac’s CPU (tons faster) and the Mac’s memory (lots more). However the Simulator also emulates OpenGL ES via a software renderer, which is abysmally slow even on the fastest CPU.

Because of this and the fact that no end user will ever run an app on the Simulator, any performance measurements on the Simulator are utterly IRRELEVANT!

Sorry for shouting but I felt this needed to be said with conviction. 😉
