Strange how the new full version of Angry Birds takes SOOOO long to load (at least on my N9) after you click on the icon.

Watched it start up in the X terminal and it turns out that Angry Birds is initializing the NFC components and setting it to listen. This, coupled with some bad syntax (it just fails over without certain attributes available, no big deal) seems to contribute to the long load time.

Real question is, what NFC functionality did the devs put into Angry Birds on the N9? Maybe they kept the enhancements from the “with magic” version, but this is not referenced in any user facing portions of the game…
