ios - touchesMoved drawing in CAShapeLayer slow/laggy

As was suggested to me in a prior StackOverflow question, I'm trying to improve my drawing method for letting my user draw lines/dots into a UIView. I'm now trying to draw using a CAShapeLayer instead of dispatch_async. This all works correctly, however, drawing into the CAShapeLayer continuously while touches are moving becomes slow and the path lags behind, whereas my old (inefficient I was told) code worked beautifully smooth and fast. You can see my old code commented out below.

Is there any way to improve the performance for what I want to do? Maybe I'm overthinking something.

I'd appreciate any help offered.

Code:

@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger center;
@property (nonatomic, strong) CAShapeLayer *drawLayer;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIBezierPath *drawPath;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIView *drawView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIImageView *drawingImageView;
CGPoint points[4];

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];

    self.center = 0;
    points[0] = [touch locationInView:self.drawView];

    if (!self.drawLayer)
    {
        CAShapeLayer *layer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
        layer.lineWidth = 3.0;
        layer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound;
        layer.strokeColor = self.inkColor.CGColor;
        layer.fillColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
        [self.drawView.layer addSublayer:layer];
        self.drawView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
        self.drawLayer = layer;
    }
}

- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
   UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];

   self.center++;
   points[self.center] = [touch locationInView:self.drawView];

   if (self.center == 3)
   {
       UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];

       points[2] = CGPointMake((points[1].x + points[3].x)/2.0, (points[1].y + points[3].y)/2.0);
       [path moveToPoint:points[0]];
       [path addQuadCurveToPoint:points[2] controlPoint:points[1]];
       points[0] = points[2];
       points[1] = points[3];
       self.center = 1;

       [self drawWithPath:path];
    }
}

- (void)drawWithPath:(UIBezierPath *)path
{
    if (!self.drawPath)
    {
        self.drawPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
    }

    [self.drawPath appendPath:path];

    self.drawLayer.path = self.drawPath.CGPath;

    [self.drawLayer setNeedsDisplay];

    // Below code worked faster and didn't lag behind at all really

    /*

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),
    ^{
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.drawingImageView.bounds.size, NO, 0.0);

        [self.drawingImageView.image drawAtPoint:CGPointZero];

        [self.inkColor setStroke];
        [path stroke];

        self.drawingImageView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    });

    */
}

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    if (self.center == 0)
    {
        UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
        [path moveToPoint:points[0]];
        [path addLineToPoint:points[0]];

        [self drawWithPath:path];
    }

    self.drawLayer = nil;
    self.drawPath = nil;
}

This problem intrigued me as I've always found UIBezierPath/shapeLayer to be reletivly fast.

It's important to note that in your code above, you continues to add points to drawPath. As this increases, the appendPath method becomes a real resource burden. Similarly, there is no point in successively rendering the same points over and over.

As a side note, there is a visible performance difference when increasing lineWidth and adding lineCap (regardless of approach). For the sake of comparing Apples with Apples, in the test below, I've left both to default values.

I took your above code and changed it a little. The technique I've used is to add touchPoints to the BezierPath up to a per-determined number, before committing the current rendering to image. This is similar to your original approach, however, given that it's not happening with every touchEvent. it's far less CPU intensive. I tested both approaches on the slowest device I have (iPhone 4S) and noted that CPU utilization on your initial implementation was consistently around 75-80% whilst drawing. Whilst with the modified/CAShapeLayer approach, CPU utilization was consistently around 10-15% Memory usage also remained minimal with the second approach.

Below is the Code I used;

@interface MDtestView () // a simple UIView Subclass
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger cPos;
@property (nonatomic, strong) CAShapeLayer *drawLayer;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIBezierPath *drawPath;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *bezierPoints;
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger pointCount;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIImageView *drawingImageView;
@end


@implementation MDtestView
CGPoint points[4];

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
    // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self) {
    //
    }
    return self;
 }



- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];

    self.cPos = 0;
    points[0] = [touch locationInView:self];

    if (!self.drawLayer)
    {
        // this should be elsewhere but kept it here to follow your code
        self.drawLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
        self.drawLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
        self.drawLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointZero;
        self.drawLayer.frame = self.frame;
        //self.drawLayer.lineWidth = 3.0;
       // self.drawLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound;
        self.drawLayer.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
        self.drawLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
        [self.layer  insertSublayer:self.drawLayer above:self.layer ];

        self.drawingImageView = [UIImageView new];
        self.drawingImageView.frame = self.frame;
        [self addSubview:self.drawingImageView];
    }
}

- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{

    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    if (!self.drawPath)
    {
        self.drawPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
      //  self.drawPath.lineWidth = 3.0;
      //  self.drawPath.lineCapStyle = kCGLineCapRound;
    }

    // grab the current time for testing Path creation and appending
    CFAbsoluteTime cTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent();

    self.cPos++;
    //points[self.cPos] = [touch locationInView:self.drawView];
    points[self.cPos] = [touch locationInView:self];
    if (self.cPos == 3)
    {
