[sugar] composite memory usage [was Re: frame auto-visibility configuration]

[Eduardo H. Silva]

Just to follow-up with trying it, while at first the feeling of using
composition was of a more responsive system, I did see performance
degrade as I launched more activities and used it more. The saving
grace was that there never was any ugly visual redraws (other than
when a new activity is launching).
Plus, there are a few bugs, like new activities launched after
composition is turned on show their text in a smaller size (like in
Browses address bar, and in its Back button palette).
