Does an iOS app's UI freeze when going into background?

Hi all.

When our app gets a notification that it's going into the background, it clears the tableview that serves as its primary UI element.  However, when the app returns to the foreground, it still briefly contains the items that were supposedly cleared.  They remain there for a second after the app resumes, then disappear.  This creates an unpolished and jarring UI.

My guess is that iOS stops drawing the UI as soon as the app starts whizzing away into the background, and likewise doesn't resume drawing it immediately after it returns.  Does anyone know if that's true?  I'm wondering how to prevent this spastic-looking UI.

Thanks for any insight.
