Bug Description

friends app 0.90.0bzr13.04.17-0ubuntu1
on ubuntu-touch image 118 on Galaxy Nexus

Once I configure twitter and run friends-app, the scrolling is really slow and can't keep up with swipe gestures. This should be improved as scrolling through the list should be fast.

I've determined this is caused by file access from QML in the avatar cache . It's actually significantly faster using remote URLs for the avatars. Using the remote URLs also means QML will handle local caching of the avatars for us, so we don't need to manage the avatar cache in the backend at all. The only remaining need for a cached version of the avatar is the notify-osd integration, which doesn't support a url to a remote image.

For now we'll drop the avatar caching logic from the friends dispatcher and start storing the URLs in the model. However, the dispatcher will need to cache an avatar long enough for the notification. Perhaps cache in /tmp which will get purged on restart?
