Mini-Conference Proposal: Suspend/Resume speed

I propose that for Update.2 we put significant effort into making suspend/resume reach its speed target and work correctly on the hardware. Its close but we are still about 5x slower than the 200ms goal, things like SD don't always work after a cycle, and we need to have proper idle detection.

Re: New faster build 1794

The updates server pulls down builds lazily on request. In other words, rsync'ing against it only tells you what builds it has _cached_, not what builds it can provide. Still, please let us know when you're unable to update to builds with olpc-update, and file bugs if necessary. Thanks, Michael

Mini-Conference Proposal: sugar performance

What I see we can do in the short/medium term: - Launch python activities in a preinitialized python interpreter, may save memory too. - Move datastore and sharing initialization later after the UI has been launched, the user won't be able to start working sooner, but will be given a better idea
