Ok... so here's an update... The card that contains all this is a calendar. On this card is a header, a datagrid that lists the events of the selected day, and another group with 84 controls in it (one button and field for each possible day) that makes up the calendar's grid, and more. When

That’s perfect and very near the results we’d expect to see. So it narrows it down to display. What’s inside the groups and what settings do they have? If there are images what quality setting do they have, normal better or best? Any scaling factors anywhere? Rotations? Anti-aliasing? Shapes,

Sean, I wouldn't say AR is non-functional. When I enable it I do see a difference. Although, in almost all cases it makes it worse. I see jerky scrolling and screen artifacts. I am using 9.5.0 Business. I compiled the app in 9.0.4 Indy, and m=562. Interesting that I just tried it on a

Dan is talking 500 times difference in response tho. That’s a bit more substantial. Plus speed degradation to a device designed to run Android 7.0 shouldn’t be to that degree either, for display or under the hood. The G5 has an octo 1.4ghz, the iPhoneX is 6core 2.39, only 4 times as fast (8-10

I'd say it's the phone. The Moto G5 has a budget processor and an old version of Android OS. An iPhoneX is newer and much faster so it isn't really a fair comparison. My Pixel has a much faster processor running the latest OS and is quite snappy; my Samsung S5 is old and slow and responds as

Hi Dan I don’t think this is fully related to your issue based on the script you show but... I’ve been doing extensive testing this week and have come close to the conclusion now that AcceleratedRendering is completely non functional for all platforms. However, I’ve got a feeling that none of
