Steps to reproduce:

This is quite slow to the point it should feature a spinner. Is there no way to cache this page to disk and thus speed it up?

You need to give more data: Phone and Android version, Rough estimate of the amount of data in the DB (we should make an add-on for this)

... and how long does it take?

Phone: HTC Incredible S
ROM: CyanogenMod Nightlies (Android 2.3.7)
DB Size:
moz_bookmarks
# of Records: 1589
# of Indexes: 4
# of Triggers: 0

moz_favicons
# of Records: 366
# of Indexes: 1
# of Triggers: 0

moz_historyvisits 
# of Records: 34168
# of Indexes: 3
# of Triggers: 0

moz_places

The time it takes varies, but it's noticeable.

Bug 725914 fixed a bad regression in the awesomebar top sites list. It was taking around 40 seconds using a DB about the size of yours.

Now it is taking ~2 seconds on the first open and ~1 second on subsequent opens. How does that compare to what you see?

I'm getting ~5 - ~15 seconds on initial open and around ~2 - ~5 seconds after that. Also current implementation locks up my system when I open the AwesomeScreen.
