Hi all.

Implementing a highscore system.
Tis is better to Buffer a relativity small global Highscore table 100-200 entries. or just rely on the loading connected data from Gamecentre or Some alternative.

Does GameCenter buffer the data for me? or can I buffer the data.

What's best in your opinion?? and should I bother to create a background loader to execute the task when people are playing the game? or just wait till they finish?

thanks
Ian

ps. Dragon Emperor's Challenge isn't processor intensive so lots of overhead for preload.
 
Premature optimization is a cardinal sin of programming. Do you have evidence that not buffering it results in slow performance? Hold off on implementing a buffer until you have evidence that it would actually solve something.
