 Replying to [comment:11 anurag_seeta]:
 > In my logs I noted an average processing time of 0.85 sec  for running
 the first run of the update () function (i.e. while rendering of the first
 frame ) and since a XO-1.5 is nearly 2.5 times faster than a XO-1 so this
 processing time would approximate to nearly 2.3 second of delay , so if we
 skip the update function for the first frame then we can speed up the
 pulsing icon by nearly 2 seconds and I guess that is a considerable amount
 of reduction in delay to start with. I tested this timer benchmark on the
 Turtle art activity.

 1. Why is the first frame slower to render than the others?
 2. What changes with your patch applied?
