You're using a sledge hammer (reloadData) when you need a small screwdriver.

From UITableView.h:

- (void)reloadData; // reloads everything from scratch. redisplays visible rows. --> because we only keep info about visible rows, this is cheap.<-- will adjust offset if table shrinks


Watch this year's WWDC session on UITableViews - that's where the "sledgehammer" comment actually comes from.

reloadData is cheap, but it is still a sledgehammer approach (since it tears everything down and rebuilds everything). Tweaking a setting of an existing view is far more surgical.
