Faster Launch of Activities

[Greg Smith]

Hi Scott,

I agree. I think we need to work on "stability" only from now until 
release. No more features unless previously defined via "release 
contract" and listed at: http://dev.laptop.org/report/18

My questions is if there's anything that already had a release contract 
or anything already in the code (e.g. sugar changes) that will improve 
performance in terms of speed of interface or launching of activities.

Thanks,

Greg S
