In my view I have a simple ARGB drawable that takes about 2ms to draw but I can draw the same file as a bitmap in under 0.5ms (just some quick code, I can't really consider it an option). What are the best ways to optimize the drawing speed of a drawable?
It will depend on the number of drawables and how many times each gets drawn. For a small number, use canvas (an exact number will also depend on the device) I would suggest using Canvas as it's a nice higher level approach to drawing.
If you want to crank out a lot of images (think hundreds), I would suggest creating a GLSurfaceView and using openGL to render your images using VBOs tailored to your app. I would also recommend using a texture sheet if you go down this route since you'll get a huge increase in performance at the cost of code complexity.
But this will also depend on that type of app. My background is in game development so I use openGL exclusively for better performance. for a simple app (something along the lines of androidify) Canvas should be fine. If you want a simple tutorial for openGL, I suggest visiting Bergman's series of posts on the topic (google should give you a link for that). It is a nice intro to openGL.
