iad display causing performance dips

Sparkyidr

Hey everyone.

Is anyone else noticing a really bad performance dip when the iad behaviour kicks in?

I've got it in a game, and when the iad starts to "load", the framerate gets very very choppy.. like down to 4fps for a second or so.

I'll be honest and say I'm not a huge fan of ads in-game anyway. When I played Dood Jump, I noticed the performance hit, *and* I saw an ad that said 'tap here'.

It kinda threw me - I think it was the first time I saw an ad in your game! - so I went to tap it and lost a life!

Just my $0.02

;o)

yeah man.
This dood jump thing was more of an experiment to be honest.
It's a cut down version of a game I am currently working on (different graphics, and sounds, and a lot simpler)

Not sure I like how the experiment has turned out.

The performance hit is a massive issue, and with a 3.2% fill rate(!!!!)...is it really worth it?
