Slower devices working better than 5s, test results

I posted a while back about how after hours of optimizing my game I was able to get it running perfectly smooth on an iPhone 5c and 2nd Gen iPad, but I get semi-choppy gameplay on the more powerful iphone 5s. I was told I should run the game through instruments, here is a picture of my results, I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for if anyone can help me out. This is the exact same build on both devices, both devices got a fresh build with the previous build being completely deleted before installing the new. This data is of my loading up the game and going in and playing the exact same level in the same way on each device, the 5c plays perfect and the 5s plays with some lag.
Any thoughts? I'm running out of ideas of how I can fix this. I feel as the my coding is done well since my game is running great on devices except for the 5s. Also my 5s has no other performances issues and runs other gamesalad games fine. Do adhoc builds play different than a final product?
Can anyone tell me one these graphs point with there being spikes in the 5s but not the 5c. Also this doesn't show how bad it really plays. Xcode instruments boots the game up from the start, however the longer I leave the game running on my 5s the gameplay gets worse and gets very choppy if the game has been open on the device for over a day, however it always plays fine on the 5c.
Any help would be extremely appreciated, I'm not sure where to go from here.
