Am I the only one who doesn't like this "false fast start-up"? When I see a program appear, I want to be able to start using it - right now programs that do use this false impression of quick launching just trick me into poking the screen before the damn thing actually loads. And then I have to wait the same amount of time before using the program anyway. And I know I'm not so awesome that my brain/reaction speed would be any faster than that of m ost people, so it surprises me that this doesn't bother other people as much.

For example, with the Settings menu program - I just remove it's respective .pvr file and touch the same name as root, so it can't override it. This way I get a nice black screen until the thing _actually_ loads, none of this program lying to me thing.

And at least for my mind it also feels faster, because then I don't have this impression of ...waiting... while the app actually loads. I know the screen is black so I know the moment it gets colorful I will have my program loaded, where as with pvr image I have to wait for the tiny visual cues that show the program actually loaded.
