I must object to this justification. It may well be better design to do things this way, but doing it because it's supposedly faster is pointless. There is no way that fetching a value from NSUserDefaults (which is basically just an NSDictionary lookup) will be even vaguely noticeable against the cost of throwing a few thousand pixels onto the screen. Even if it were slower, contorting the code like this without having profiled the code and demonstrated that this is in fact a significant slowdown is bad practice.
