Replace the NSOperation based downloader by a simple async NSURLConnection (read-on to understand why)
I finally found the reason behind the download not started while UITableView is manipulated: the default NSURLConnection runloop mode. Its default mode is NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode which is interrupted by UI events. Changing default NSURLConnection runloop mode to NSRunLoopCommonModes just fix this good old responsiveness issue. I thus decided to replace the current NSOperation based implementation by this finding, as NSOperation is far more expensive than simple async connections. Additionally, moving aways from NSOperation here fix an odd lagging issue with iOS 4, an issue I can't explain at the moment. Note that `SDWebImageDownloader`'s `setMaxConcurrentDownloads:` method is now a no-op as I didn't implemented the NSOperation queuing system with async connections. I don't think it still necessary as thread-less async connectaions are very lightweight. If you think there is a real need of this, I may reconsider and implement it in the future. In the meantime, this method does nothing and its usage is declared as deprecated.

|

In fact, my servers were well but a lot of latency was added to the requests, certainly because my
|
||||
application wasn't responsive enough to handle the requests at full speed. At this moment, I
|
||||
understood something important, asynchronous NSURLConnections are tied to the main runloop (I
|
||||
guess). It's certainly based on the poll multiplexer system call, which allows a single thread to
|
||||
handle quite a huge number of simultaneous connections. It works well while nothing blocks in the
|
||||
loop, but in this loop, there is also the events handling. A simple test to recognize an application
|
||||
using NSURLConnection to load there remote images is to scroll the UITableView with your finger to
|
||||
disclose an unloaded image, and to keep your finger pressed on the screen. If the image doesn't load
|
||||
until you release you finger, the application is certainly using NSURLConnection (try with the
|
||||
Facebook app for instance). I'm not completely clear about the reason of this blocking, I thought
|
||||
the iPhone was running a dedicated run-loop for connections, but the fact is, NSURLConnection is
|
||||
affected by the application events and/or UI handling (or something else I'm not aware of).
|
||||
understood something important, asynchronous NSURLConnections are tied to the main runloop in the
|
||||
NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode. As explained in the documentation, this runloop mode is affected by
|
||||
UI events:
|
||||
|
||||
Thus I explored another path and found this marvelous NSOperation class to handle concurrency with
|
||||
love. I ran some quick tests with this tool and I instantly got enhanced responsiveness of the image
|
||||
loading in my UITableView by... a lot. Thus I rewrote the [Fraggle][]'s implementation using the
|
||||
same concept of drop-in remplacement for UIImageView but with this new technic. I thought the result
|
||||
could benefits to a lot of other applications, thus we decided, with [Fraggle][], to open-sourced
|
||||
it, et voila!

A simple test to recognize an application using NSURLConnection in its default mode to load there
|

remote images is to scroll the UITableView with your finger to disclose an unloaded image, and to
|
||||
keep your finger pressed on the screen. If the image doesn't load until you release you finger,
|
||||
you've got one (try with the Facebook app for instance). It took me quite some time to understand
|
||||
the reason for this lagging issue. Actually I first used NSOperation to workaround this issue.
|
||||
|
||||
This technic combined with an image cache instantly gave a lot of responsiveness to my app.

I thought this lib could benefits to a lot of other Cocoa Touch application so I open-sourced it.
