title: Slow Startup with Ionic
body: <p>I'm trying out the ionic framework and am finding the application is loading very slowly with the basic tabs app (almost no changes). </p>
  
  <p>Here's what I did:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ionic start TabsDemo tabs
  cd \TabsDemo
  ionic platform add android
  ionic build TabsDemo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I commented out the two splash screen elements in the configuration. Running this on an HTC M7, I see a black screen for ~3 seconds before the application loads up the first time. After that resources are cached and the app loads fine. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a setting or something I can do to get my app to load up in a reasonable amount of time or do all ionic apps suffer from this?</p>
