MLO opening slow on Android
Nick Clark
Depending on the device there may be an option to keep it in memory as a priority, or alternatively to auto end other apps to keep the memory available.

Not sure if that's considered "old" but the same device was able to open MLO
in something closer to 8 seconds about 6 weeks ago, so I'm concerned.

So my Galaxy S 2 opens it in about 2 seconds. I wonder if it is related to number of tasks? I only have about 50 in my test profile.
Alternatively, what about a memory leak? Is it slowing over time, or is it behaving that way fresh after a phone reboot?

Well, I just synced my real profile to my phone - 352 tasks and about 60% recurring. It still opened in about 2 seconds even after rebooting to ensure it is completely out of memory and loading from scratch.
My phone is on Jelly Bean version of Android, and I have around 280 MB free RAM with 9 applications running, which is normal for me. I am running MLO from the phone, not the SDcard.
While a number of my tasks have a few notes, most are fairly limited - generally some context for the task, an address, phone #, or a quick note about where I am if it's something ongoing.
I am syncing via MLO cloud.
Is it possible that you simply don't have enough free memory for the application to stay loaded?
Well, 2 seconds is good. Also, your number of tasks is rather low, so that might be answer why yours is fast. I think I'm at some 500 tasks now, and probably half of them are recurring, so that's way more extensive usage.Anyway I think the problem is that Android isn't keeping the app in memory. I tried various methods to make it permanent ... there seems to be an improvement but anyway there are times when I just stare waiting until it opens.

Well, there’s definitely a performance issue on my phone. For the last month or two most apps are running a little slower. MLO startup is disproportionately affected, much more than any other app, although Firefox comes in second. If other apps take maybe 5% longer, Firefox takes maybe 3 times as long (200% longer) to load a page and MLO startup takes maybe 1000% longer. Once loaded, MLO performance is comparable to other apps. I thought it might be doing a cloud sync as a part of startup but I don’t think so, as several times when the home screen finally appears it has come up with the “cloud has changes” icon lit. My profile has about 800 tasks, I cleaned out what I could in last weekend’s review and got it down to about 750 tasks with no noticeable improvement. I also found that Google Plus was keeping lots of cache. I cleared cache and uninstalled several apps that would not move to SD, including a recently-added battery manager that I thought might have been contributing to the problem. I’m now showing phone memory 52% free and cache 99% free, but no performance improvement.
I know that something outside of MLO is causing the problem bet the MLO issue in all of this is why MLO is so seriously affected by whatever’s happening.
If this was windows I would check if storage (particularly MLO profile storage) is fragmented. I don’t know how to address that on Android.
