   Can you share your experience with iAd especially regarding performance?

   I heard that we don't have control in refreshing iAd content and only Apple does.

   For those of you who implemented iAd in your Action-style game which involves lots of movements,
   did you ever see a noticeable lag in your Game Layer when iAd content changes?

   If yes, how do we have to go about avoiding this lagging?

   I did but not all the ones with motion in them like the AT&T banner killed my game. The only way I could see getting around it is not to show iAd during game play. I show either self promoting my apps or AdMob. I wish there was some other way since iAd pays more than AdMob. I even run a webView gif to promote one of my apps and it still performs fine so I don't know why iAd with motion ads makes our games slow.

   @odinseye, Thanks for your comment!

   I am just kindof experimenting a way to make iAd called within a non-Main thread.
   The performance lag seems to have reduced. With my 3Gs, I am using 3 threads - one main and two non-mains for special effects. I don't know what other issues may arise in other devices.

   Currently I am facing some other issue described here : http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/9851

   @odinseye, sorry, maybe I spoke too soon. the lagging issue still remains. multi-thread seems to bring some extra overhead. I wonder how other people do this. I'd love to share if I found a viable solution for this.

   By the way, does AdMod not provide 480x32 Ads?

   I am experiencing a similar issue. During game play when ad refreshes there is a noticeable lag. I wonder if you have solved this problem.
