View appears before viewDidLoad finishes

Question

Afternoon everyone,
I use the following code to curlup a view to display another view below. Both views come from xib's.
case 1:
if (pageView1 == nil) {
self.pageView1 = [[PageView1 alloc] initWithNibName:@"PageView1" bundle:nil];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp forView:self.view cache:YES];
[currentViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
[pageView1 viewWillDisappear:YES];
[currentViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view insertSubview:pageView1.view atIndex:0];
[pageView1 viewDidDisappear:YES];
[currentViewController viewDidAppear:YES];
if (currentViewController != nil) {
[currentViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
currentViewController = pageView1;
break;
This works fine apart from one small detail and that is that if it is the first time that pageView1 is loaded the computations in viewDidLoad of pageView1.m seem to be only executed after the animation finishes. Since some of the code is used to size labels and perform translations the effect is that those parts affected seem to jump after the animation finishes.
So what you see is: the previous page is curling up. The next page below it (first time only) is shown with incorrectly sized labels/textviews and graphic elements that are repositioned depending on the recalculated textview.frame. The animation finishes and the above mentioned items jump about.
The effect is less severe if caching is off. My guess is that the pageView1 is cached before viewDidLoad finishes building the view. Then when the animation finishes pageView1 viewDidLoad has progressed and the cached view no longer matches the finished view.
Is there (an easy) way to handle this?
Regards

I have now tried this on an actual iPad instead of the simulator I had been testing on sofar and I am getting the jumps now on every re-draw not just the first time around.
