Why do all custom lockscreens have a time update lag?

[Andy Ftw]

Hey,

So I've seen lots of different lockscreens in Cydia with custom clocks and what not but I always find when I hit the power button, there is always about a 0.5/1 second lag before the time updates itself to the current time.

This happens with slantedlock and every other custom lockscreen I have tried.

Does everyone else experience this? Is there anyway to stop this?

Thanks

I'm using LS Lockscreen (HTML) and it doesn't do that but I've had others that did. A half-second delay isn't much. I assume they are waking up, going to the server, getting the time, and displaying it.

tahts because they use java script or html code to display the time using png files, so the delay is the phone geting the system time and displaying it

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll have a look at for some HTML ones and see if there is a difference. Personally I can't stand the delay and it's enough to put me off using one unfortunately, but obviously some people don't care about that, fair enough
