JSanders brought up a good point. I found that having vibrate+ring does take a little bit. I use vibrate when in meetings or something, other than that, it's ringer only. Since this has already been hijacked, guess I'll add a question to it since it's been brought up. With those 4-6 apps that are always running, is there a way to close those so they don't run in the background at all? If I click them and close they still show. Just wondering how much faster it would be with 1-2 apps vs 4-6 apps.
