Has anyone else noticed performance problems with the WKWebView in iOS9?

Last year, when iOS8 was launched, we had to change our app's Visual Editor to use WKWebView instead of UIWebView because the performance when editing large files. That was a LOT of work, because the 2 controls work quite differently!

Now, this huge performance hit appears to be happening again, but with WKWebView?

Before we decide to completely give up on developing for iOS, can anyone else confirm that they are seeing this?

We are having the same problem. We got wkwebview working perfectly and it even worked on earlier versions of iOS 9 beta. Now it does not and we are going to have to consider using UIwebview, even though performance is inferior. (Our app won't even launch with wkwebview)

Any recommendations or workarounds are appreciated.
