Gradients
Using objects with gradients creates a slightly higher load on the CPU. If a large
number of objects use gradients, this will make the screen update time significantly
slower. Pay special attention to objects with gradients that are updated frequently,
e.g. a bar graph with a style with gradients connected to a tag that changes at short
intervals.
Polygons
Avoid excessive use of polygons. Polygons are usually complex and are drawn each
time the screen is shown, hence they will not benefit from caching the screen.
Buttons
From a performance perspective it is preferred to use styled buttons instead of the
default button.
Transparency
Drawing transparent objects (circular meter, slider etc.) without transparency will
result in improved performance. In order to do so these objects should not overlap
other objects within their bounding box. Also, avoid gradients in backgrounds
and dynamics on screens containing these types of objects.
