<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I tried to reduce the processing load just before the rendering of the first frame in this workflow, and looked for the processor intensive parts (intensive calculations or long recursive function calls) where any possible reduction in the processing may speed up the loading of the pulsing icon. I studied the files as pointed by Bernie (thank you for the explanation) and found the animation aspect to be constituted of only two frames - EASE_IN and EASE_OUT, which take place in an ordered repetitive manner. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I was unable to arrive at a solution that was specific to the first frame with the documentation and explanations available. Wish if you could share pointers and strategy on how processor load could be lowered with emphasis on first frame. I suspect that it should lie in jarabe.view.launcher where the animation starts, but have been unable to arrive at an approach for it. Looking forward to your feedback.</div>

Apologies that I did not consider the processing load that is encountered before the startup of the first frame of the animation of the pulsing icon.</span></div>
