UISearchController搜索栏动画第一次很慢

Question

In iOS 9 I am using UISearchController and displaying its search bar within a UIViewController, I am experiencing a lot of lag the first time I click on the search bar and have tried everything i can think of to no avail...below is my code along with a link to a video of the lag happening - the lag happens on both the simulator and my device.

func setupUI() {
    self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

    // Required to properly display searchbar within nav & tabbar controllers
    self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true // have tried setting this to false as well
    self.definesPresentationContext = true

    self.searchResultsController = AppDelegate.getViewController(ScheduleStoryboard.name, controllerName: ScheduleStoryboard.Identifiers.foodSearchResults) as? SearchResultsController

    self.searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: searchResultsController)
    self.searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    self.searchController.delegate = self
    self.searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true

    self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
    self.searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search foods..."
    self.searchController.searchBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "background-searchbar")?.resizableImageWithCapInsets(UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)), forBarPosition: .Any, barMetrics: .Default)
    self.searchController.searchBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    self.searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()

    // this headerView does NOT belong to the tableView, its anchored on top of the tableView so that the searchbar remains fixed when scrolling
    self.headerView.addSubview(searchController.searchBar)

    self.tableView.delegate = self
    self.tableView.dataSource = self
    self.tableView.tableHeaderView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    self.tableView.tableHeaderView?.addBorder(.Bottom, color: UIColor.groupTableViewBackgroundColor(), width: 0.25)

    self.segmentedControl.tintColor = UIColor.genioBlue()
}

Here is a link to the video showing whats happening: http://sendvid.com/xgq81stx

I've only ever created a search controller once, but I used a UITableViewController as my base class. Here is my implementation:

class SearchController: UITableViewController {
    let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
    var items:[ArrayOfYourType]
    var filteredItems:[ArrayOfYourType]
    var scopeTitles:[String]?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
    definesPresentationContext = true
    tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar

    searchController.searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = scopeTitles
    searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
}

// MARK: - Table view data source

override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
    return 1
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    if searchController.active {
        return filteredItems.count
    }
    return items.count
}

func filterContentForSearchText(searchText: String, scope: String = "All") {
    filteredItems = items.filter { item in
        //return true or false depending on your filter
        return true
    }
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
        self.tableView.reloadData()
    })
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Subtitle,
        reuseIdentifier: nil)
    let item: String
    let category: String
    if searchController.active {
        item = filteredItems[indexPath.row].getTitle()
        category = filteredItems[indexPath.row].getCategory()
    }
    else {
        item = items[indexPath.row].getTitle()
        category = items[indexPath.row].getCategory()
    }
    cell.textLabel?.text = item
    cell.detailTextLabel?.text = category
    return cell
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    //your code here
}
}

//MARK: UISearchResultsUpdating
extension SearchController: UISearchResultsUpdating {
    func updateSearchResultsForSearchController(searchController: UISearchController) {
        if let _ = scopeTitles {
            let searchBar = searchController.searchBar
            let scope = searchBar.scopeButtonTitles![searchBar.selectedScopeButtonIndex]
            filterContentForSearchText(searchController.searchBar.text!,scope:scope)
        }
        else {
            filterContentForSearchText(searchController.searchBar.text!)
        }
    }
}

//MARK: UISearchBarDelegate
extension SearchController: UISearchBarDelegate {
    func searchBar(searchBar: UISearchBar, selectedScopeButtonIndexDidChange selectedScope: Int) {
        filterContentForSearchText(searchBar.text!, scope: searchBar.scopeButtonTitles![selectedScope])
    }
}

I hope this helps :)
