AFAIK there is still some space for improvement in general responsiveness.
Actually there is a busy loop eating CPU to wait for graphical
operations to complete.
There are working in progress to avoid that. When the fix will be
ready *and* adopting a good design pattern for applications (e.g.
GUI/logic multithreading split, fusion of frequently used phone tasks
in monolitic one-shot load and forget applications) we may see an
acceptable speedy freerunner.
