Has GameSalad got slower with updates? For me performances decreased a lot.

Before the latest patches, GameSalad program was pretty slow but games on device were running even faster on the GameViewer than on my mac.

Since the more recent patches, I started using GameSalad again because it fixed the constant loadings I had between every action making using GameSalad frustrating.

HOWEVER, not only my old 1G touch can't run GS games anymore, but to by unfortunate surprise they got extremly laggy on iphone devices. I just tested a game that used to run extremely smooth on the viewer on a 1G, that happens to be extremely laggy on the viewer on a 3G now.

I'm a bit confused, this seem pretty weird. I did not test ad hoc at that time, but how could a game run perfectly and now be so laggy 2 iphone generations and performence improvement GS patches later?
Is there any way to downgrade GameSalad? I'm kinda curious as to try the old version again.

Anyone noticed this or did I just do something wrong? Could it be that the new GameViewer simulates lags to represent adhoc builds better or something?

    Bump. I know it's a weird question but I'd really like to get at least one imput.

    -Has anyone else experienced this?
    -If I get my hand on older version of GS, will it let me publish?

    I have experienced a great decrease in performance with this latest version. Everything feels sluggish after a few minutes of running the creator. Within 5 minutes even scrolling through all of my actors lags. I just figured it was a memory leak or something.

    Awww, it's a shame I wouldn't have to cancel my game if I had my hands on a year's ago version XD

    People doesn't seem to have experienced the same problems(here the program itself got faster), but I guess I feel less alone anyways.

    Thanks for your imput.
