[sugar] perceived sugar performance

One thing I observe is that it takes considerable time from when I
click on 'Shutdown' in the Main view, until the XO actually stops.
Happened to see the Linux shutdown messages (Is there a way to ask
for these instead of the "don't do these" screen?) and it seemed to
several times attempt to do something with a .security directory
(which I don't have) -- each time timing out. I believe that if
accessing a missing .security directory were not repeated,
considerable time would be saved in the duration of shutdown.

p.s. What my XO display shows me for a specific situation is not
100% consistent. An example is shutdown -- about 1 in 40
times, instead of the "don't do these" screen I've seen the
Linux shutdown messages, or I've seen out-of-sync garbage.
Likewise, about 1 in 30 times, when during booting the 'circle
of dots' gets near 8 o'clock the screen goes a uniform dark
gray, and stays that way until the Main view cursor shows.
[I've seen other questionable display contents -- but the
above ones occur frequently enough for me to remember.]
