Performance Notes:

Rendering a fractal is computationally intensive. The image is drawn in three passes, a coarse preview pass, a finer pass, and then the final individual pixel pass. At any time you can continue zooming or panning. Drawing times for the passes will vary based on the device, zoom level scale, the current location within the fractal and the Max Iterations value in Preferences.
