One thing I dont understand is why the OS sometimes feels slow. There is a lot of processing power in my phone, a Galaxy S3. For example when I press the home screen button I expect the phone to instantly display the home screen, but I always have to wait one or two seconds for it. I assume that for the Android OS this is the equivalent of minimizing an application in Windows. The desktop process is already running in the background and the process of whatever app I was using is not terminated; it continues to run. So there are no apps to start or stop, no cleaning up to do, no returning of resources or garbage collection. So what is actually happening in the OS during this time that I have to wait for?
One strange thing is that the phone returns slightly quicker to the start screen when I use the back button. I assume that in some scenarios this action will terminate the current process, so it should be slower, not quicker.
