Viewing home page is very slow

[Bill Wohler]

I have about 1,500 tasks so bringing up my home page is very slow (~30 seconds). Even running the Hide on Home Page command doesn't seem to help much and causes other problems (see my next report). Every time I fire up Astrid now, I immediately bring up the menu and tap on Tags which only takes ~10 seconds (but still too long) and then select a specific tag.

I don't expect that bringing up a home page with all 1500 tasks to be fast. However, I would expect if I limited the home page to a dozen or two tasks to be lightning fast (1-2 seconds).

A nice workaround and a great feature besides would be a new option called Starting View. This option would contain Home Page and Tags. That way, if there aren't any active cards or views of a particular tag, starting Astrid would take me directly to the tags view.

Thanks for considering this!

p.s. Yeah, this bug should be cloned into an RFE for the new option :-).

Task loading is done lazily in 3.0, I am happy to report =)
