If someone wants to look for hot spots (profiling and such), then that certainly would help. And after that, perhaps some donated code would be nice :-)

The app is nicely designed in some ways - easily extensible and such, but for a smaller device, those design features don't fit as well.

In the modern world of app design, it really makes sense to create a clean app, and then speed it up. I know that I have found that early optimization is problematic as I was often wrong at where the choke points were. Ensemble was made on and for the desktop CPU, and it shows in startups time.

Ensemble8 in particular is a bit of a monster - it is very large (both for memory used and classes consumed, and then of course the index parsing it does on startup) and does a lot of things that are hard to speed up on the Pi.
