Background Image without Redrawing Every Time?

[TechnoEagle]

I want to add a background image to part of my app, but when I just add

[myImage drawInRect:myRect];

the app lags quite a bit due to the fact that it is redrawing the entire image every time drawrect: gets called (which is about twice a second).

Since the background image itself is not changing at all, I thought that there might be a way to draw the image once and leave it there.

Does anyone know how I would do this?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe you can put 2 UIVIew in your XIB?
One for the background, and, over it, another one for the content (and you just update this one)

Thank you so much, Sekler! Your advice worked perfectly!
