Is there a way to discover BLE peripheral service faster?

Question

I find that my implementation of the BLE protocol in iOS7 to be very slow in the start up phase. The startup sequence amounts to ~68% of the whole execution time in my app.<

Answer 1

There's no framework-level API to improve the discovery speed. BTLE is co-existing with Classic Bluetooth (at the system framework level) and Wi-Fi (at the antenna level), so the maximum time on antenna is limited by the system.
