Thanks Chris! Some questions regarding your response:
Do you know the reason why Android is so slow on start-up? Do you think it's possible to speed up Android by preventing certain applications loading by default and applying some of the fast booting improvements in order to drastically decrease boot-up time? I just found an article saying boot-up time is normally >10 sec. Is it actually the booting process of the kernel, start-up of the dalvik vm or application start-up which takes so long?
