I recently cleaned up my contact list from 4k+ to 250 or so.
Actually i had lag issues with stock ICS and not the stock GB on Mini Pro.
But custom roms solved that anyways.

And laggy or not, i'm always happy to have more computing power than NASA did when they put man on the moon. :p How much more do i need?

Im sure any phone would feel laggy if you expect it to read 4000 contacts in less than a second...
 
well yeah. i do not see any change in companies supporting older phones even if we reach 8 core processor powered phones which should be out early next year.

not really. 4000 is nothing. we are talking about dual core and quad core devices here. these devices can handle 3D games... loading 4000 contacts is not that big of a deal.
 
That's exactly what I had posted about earlier(I think it was in the Galaxy Nexus thread). PC processors are now on a much more mature development curve as opposed to mobile processors which are still catching up. I cannot think that even after the next 5-6 iterations, Android OS would become so demanding that the Nexus 4 won't be able to run it.

In that case i would term it as the inefficiency of the OS if it cant milk a quad core well enough !!

games are loaded into the memory well before you start playing... which game have you seen loading in less than a second??
 
and i am talking about scrolling through 4000 contacts on an android device. bringing the contacts screen is fast. scrolling is slow.
 
i think we are moving backward... old symbians never had this lag problem. basics like contacts and messages were a breeze to use. not sure about people with 1000+ contacts and messages tho.
 
App developers are lazy these days with so much processing power available to them.
 
It is all attributed to attention span. The attention span is terribly low for a person on a mobile device as opposed to a desktop. A lot has to do with the app culture - you tap an app it opens. On the desktop people are "tuned" to wait for things to happen - you open a browser which itself takes time to launch, then enter a URL, and by the time different sections of the page are loaded, a good 20 seconds is usually gone. This behaviour spills over to other things on these respective devices.
 
plus multitasking on desktop allows you to focus on multiple things. mobiles on the other hand...

... dont give us option to pass time while something is loading ... :laugh:

Nail on the head ...
