There are two components to your "updating the UI". One is creating a tree of views and subviews, the second actually showing them in the UI.

What's p-reviously worked for me is doing the creation in a background thread, and when all is done adding these views as subviews of a visible view. Not that I've ever seen this as a sanctioned technique by Apple, its just worked for me in shipping apps.
