I think also catorise has its part on the issue. WHen using apt-get, about 40/60% of the time after the package is downloaded it is being used by updating the categories. Unless, of course, we're talking about a Mammoth like, lets say, Navit.
Slightly off-topic, but this is where load applet comes in. After app manager has finished installing the app, load applet shows that cpu and ram is still being used for a while after. If the device is unresponsive, load applet shows you it's because the resources are being used.
Does anyone experience severe lag on their handset when installing applications or is this just specific to my handset. I've reflashed many times and this doesn't seem to rectify the problem. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with which phone you can use device normally while installing stuff?
I have to say also that I don't really have this issue. If its doing a huge download then sometimes its a little slow but normally I can also watch Video / Make Phone calls during installs.
imo if you open some web pages before starting the installation, you can read those through almost normally. but redrawing etc probably is an overkill...
i can with my good old n95... And with computer are you joking? All computers now have excellent multi tasking. I can watch video + play games while installing. @.@ unless your stuck with a celeron processor on a desktop?
