Hi Tony,
Very glad that you've started this thread! This is a top priority for UX
between now and Jan 15. We're very eager to do what we can to help improve
performance. The finest drop shadows in the world aren't worth much if they
draw at 7 fps.

> Number of phone reboots? App startup time?)
* Frames per second (ideally we achieve some degree of consistency throughout
the UX, even if it's sub-60fps)
* Responsiveness (the speed of the interface's response to user inputs. Ideally
we prioritize and respond to user inputs over system events)
* Core user stories (these are high priority areas. Both load time and
transition FPS are important):
** Switch to Home screen
** Switch to Task Manager
** Unlock device from Lock screen
** Trigger an activity (both window and inline dispositions)
** Open an app
** Scrolling a list
That's a very quick list. The UX team will spend some more time on this and
follow up…
Thanks!
