presentModalViewController takes a long time and screen goes white
<p>I am trying to add UiActivityStatus and Show a "Please Wait image' while presentModalViewController loads which takes 16  - 20 seconds...</p>

<p>The image shows up but then screen turns white right away and sits there for the 16-20 seconds. I am guessing the call to presentModalViewController returns right away.</p>

<p>Is there anyway around showing status when a call to presentModalViewController takes a long time.</p>

<p>PS: it takes a long time before i am loading some 100 pictures in that view</p>

<p>thanks!!</p>
