UPDATE: Build 242 screwed up the devel builds. Build 243 should fix this issue.

I have added Johan Dahlin’s python-launcher utility to the devel builds starting with build 242. Anyone wanting to hack on Sugar performance during FUDCon this weekend should update to that build or any later builds. I should have an update image floating around for anyone interested. I basically want to collect some metrics on startup performance of activities and then go ahead and update code to use the launcher to see if we gain any improvements and also file any bugs we encounter. There will also be many other performance areas we can target during hacking sessions so for those who are interested there is plenty of opportunity to contribute to the OLPC project.
