- When previewing in ipad landscape (in GS) the actors will lag and the whole thing seems choppy.
- When viewing iphone 5 landscape (in GS) the actors lag less.
if viewing in adhoc mode (which I dont have access to), will it be smoother?

Do you mean the preview mode within the Creator app, or preview on device using GS Viewer? Your post implies Creator app.
If that's the case, yes an ad hoc build should be significantly smoother. The preview mode in Creator is very, very choppy in general, and very imprecise when spawning actors in some circumstances.
A little trick I've found helps, but your milage may vary, is to preview the project and get things started and then bring another window to the front, TextEdit or Skype or something. When running in a background window the smoothness of the Creator preview improves enormously. At least that's what I find
Won't help you playtest, but will give you a better idea of how smoothly it will run.

Yeah i was referring to the Creator App. I've been struggling for a few days wondering why my movement was choppy and I thought it was because of my code!!
Thanks for the reply and i'll try out putting something in front while testing.
Choppy preview can often be inefficient logic - so don't rule that out until you try it on device.
You cannot get an accurate idea from the Creator though.
