Summary: Originally, `allowsBackgroundReloading` was added to improve performance, but ironically, it's causing lots of performance issues among other issues. * Performance: Looking back, it's not too surprising that it causes perf issues. We're falling back to a full `-reloadData` if the view is not in the window, which can happen pretty often. For example, if a view-controller is within a `UINavigationController` stack but not on top, or within a `UITabBarController`. Because a full `-reloadData` will re-query the cells and re-create the entire layout, it's going to be more expensive than an incremental update via `-performUpdatesAnimated`. The proof is in the data and we have a few examples where this flag was the cause of significant UI stalls. * Bugs: Because we might reload cells often, it can create strange animation artifacts. Specifically, it was breaking the `UIView` snapshots just before a transition, like the new zoom animator. Overall, we ended disabling this feature and I think most apps will be in the same boat. But what if this flag does improve my app's performance? * File an issue and lets chat! I'd be curious to understand why that's the case. If a full `-reloadData` is more performant than an incremental `-performUpdatesAnimated`, than something odd is happening and I don't think this flag is the right solution.
