Programmatically Present View Controller.

Hi, I want to programmatically present a view controller.

My app downloads some data from the internet, carries out some data handling and then loads the next view.

I've previously successfully used performSegueWithIdentifer however for some reason it is adding a huge delay into the app.

I've used presentViewController with no delay but I can't use this, it was just to test whether I was missing something obvious.

I have an NSLog when the last data handling method completes and one when the next view controller is loaded. Using 'presentViewController' the time between logs is 14ms. When using performSegueWithIdentifer is a staggering 8.5secs!

I literally commented out one line and tested with the other. No other code changes.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be going on?

Thanks.
