Do you know the reason why Titanium is slower than Graphite? Do you use a core Substance painter that is particularly slow, or perhaps a custom painter that can be sped up a little?

Titanium's ArcHeaderPainter appears to be slower than Graphite's FlatTitlePainter. More gradients are slowing down SubstanceTitlePane I guess.

No surprise in hearing that the ArcHeaderPainter is slower. It uses the soft clipping technique to create a nice blended border between the top arc and the bottom linear areas, which involves creating a temporary image. FlatTitlePainter is simpler and faster indeed. In addition, you can try caching the images created by the title painter - it is not done by ArcHeaderPainter core implementation since the title pane is usually quite wide.
