Why do I ask for this? At times, I have noticed the blinking blue led up to 5-8 seconds before the phone started to draw up a phone GUI. It would only happen on a multitasking device. But we want real multitasking. It's just that I don't believe it would be necessary to let the phone application compete on the same terms as the flash player.
yes i also have this many times,
a phone call comes in, and i cant really get it, sometimes the screen just stays black for a while or it is switching between landscape/portrait mode and that is very slowly

this should really be fixed. Foreground applications should be top prio (and a incoming phone call makes the phone app as soon as possible a foreground app) all the rest should really be low prio background apps. They dont have to be completely suspended but should really get very little cpu cycles.

Same for incoming sms, it comes in, it takes a while to open it up. But this should also be almost instance, a new sms should be on the screen within a second.
