I'll attach some cairo-perf results of Onboard starting up with the Ambiance theme. The Nexus 7 takes a whopping >200x longer than the i3 laptop. Single-threaded CPU performance just differs by a factor of some 4.5, and that number would probably have been ok with Onboard. 200x though, that's nothing we can make up for. Adding cairo to the list.

This leads to a useability issue when starting the dash for the first time, e.g. as the dash opens and an empty onboard frame is rendered but not usable for 45 seconds. I would prefer to have the keyboard opened when the session starts and pay the price then, rather than randomly irritating the user the first time he/she tries to do input.
