Start SystemServer in parallel to Zygote class preloading

[Ermir]

Hi,

I'm trying to speed up boot process and I've seen that Zygote is
preloading a lot of classes before starting SytemServer. What will
happen to just load the classes SystemServer needs and then start it
in parallel with the rest of the preloading?

If nothing else, you will waste RAM.

Thanks Dianne,

Where is the RAM wasted? I've read in different posts that if shared
classes are loaded separately by an application, they will stay in
private mem of that app and not shared anymore. Every app will have
its own copy of those classes that were supposed to be shared, right?

I guess Zygote cannot guess in advance or run time which classes will
be shared.
