(Whiteboard: [blocking-webrtandroid1-])

A current pain point with web apps on Android is the fact that launching of an application feels slow, as we are loading all of gecko in the app process, followed by loading of the initial launch path for the app. We need to figure out a strategy to improve the perceived start-up performance of a web app so that it no longer feels slow to an end-user. Then, let's implement this strategy to better improve the perceived performance of start-up of a web application.

After watching the feedback channels with the splashscreen fix in, I am not seeing any complaints about start-up perf anymore. I'm closing this bug given that I'm not seeing loud complaints on this anymore.

I would disagree. I just tried the AirBnB app again, same thing. Takes 3-4 seconds for anything to show up on my Galaxy S2. Is there a specific version or something else I should be doing to help test?

Do you still get the same impression with the latest nightly and aurora builds?

Nightly and Aurora themselves are fast, our apps are not.
Fair enough, I'll reopen then.

Actually, this isn't an actionable bug in itself. If we come across a way to improve perf, let's file a bug. But we can't do anything with this bug in itself.
