[iPhone Beta 6] Text Rotation Slow

Question

I have a Landscape application that uses "UILabel" and "UITextField", and all was fine till Beta 6 came out. Since then if I rotate text and there are say 2-3 on the screen the frame rate goes down like crazy.
To make the UILabel or UITextField rotate I did for example:
1) via .transform
=================
// Set Bot Value
textBottom = [[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:frameText]];
textBottom.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
textBottom.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
textBottom.textColor = [[UIColor blackColor]];
textBottom.font = [[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17.0]];
textBottom.placeholder = @"";
textBottom.backgroundColor = nil;
textBottom.enabled = NO;
textBottom.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
textBottom.center = CGPointMake( imageRect.size.width - 25, imageRect.size.height - 20 );
CGAffineTransform transformFlip = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation( -1.571 );
textBottom.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat ( textBottom.transform, transformFlip );
[[self addSubview:textBottom]];
and/or
2) via setTransform
===================
// Set Bot Value
textBottom = [[[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:frameText]];
textBottom.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
textBottom.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;
textBottom.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
textBottom.font = [[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17.0]];
textBottom.placeholder = @"";
textBottom.backgroundColor = nil;
textBottom.enabled = NO;
textBottom.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
textBottom.center = CGPointMake( imageRect.size.width - 25, imageRect.size.height - 20 );
[[self addSubview:textBottom]];
CGAffineTransform transformFlip = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation( -1.571 );
[[textBottom setTransform:transformFlip]];
This problem is only on the device (not the simulator) the application now starts running VERY VERY VERY VERY slow if there is say 3 or more UILabel or UITextFields on the display.
In Beta 5 and below all worked great. (also on the simulator)
Is there a better way to draw text rotated that does not slow the iPhone/iPod device down to a crawl? (i.e. get 2-3 FPS instead of the 30 or so before).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Figured it out, can no longer transform UILabel as it is slow. Need to drawtext text yourself.
