I think actually most of the time in opening that menu first time
goes to decompressing all the application icon PNG images
(they are loaded automatically after a few secs after the device
has booted if user didn't have time to tap to the menu I think).
I think they are cached after that.
I have the feeling the gobject is

Icons in N800 have 32 times more bits per pixel (32-bit vs. 1-bit data)
and due to 226 DPI display, they have also a lot more pixels.
(Yes, the display is 16-bit. Icons are converted to 16-bit on blitting
as Gdk supports only 24 & 32-bit image data.)

Are you using the latest N800 release?
