My simple iPhone game has two basic "screens":

  1. home screen (UIViewController subclass)
  2. game screen (UIWindow w/ EAGLLayer where all the OpenGL drawing happens)

Currently when the user taps "Play" on the homescreen the UIViewController is just hidden and the game screen is revealed. When the game is over the homescreen UIViewController is unhidden.

Does the hidden UIViewController consume any resources when it's hidden?
