Toggling hardwares takes time. Note that the time of the check box being disabled is nearly constant no matter how fast users togging it.

Chuck, can the time of toggling wifi be improved?

If the platform doesn't need to unload wifi driver while disable wifi, ignore this step will improve disable/enable time.
But we now default ignore the unload wifi driver step, partner have to add "ro.moz.wifi.unloaddriver=1" to device property to unload wifi driver.

Another possibility is bug 994564, but the disable time doesn't improve on tarako.

Vincent and I are now investigating bug 1009725 to see if there's something delaying the whole progress.

These are all possible work I can think of, but I can't guarantee it can be improved.
Since most of the real work are done by gonk(netutil, wpa_supplicant, wifi driver, etc.), we just send commands.

Let's track the issue in one place.
