I sometime have to wait a long time for my icons to load. Has anyone else been having this issue?

I have the same problems with my Milestone. It´s getting better after I switched to the CyanogenMod, but a reeboot helps for some time..

I have found that often it is better to use the "back" key then to just push the "home" key.. I have noticed that the way the android OS uses memory.. when you hit Home.. it acts like its launching a "new" app.. instead of just pulling up one waiting in the back ground. Also.. if you use "LauncherPro" as your home replacement/manager.. it has the option of keeping itself in memory.

And for the advanced rooted user.. move your Home Launcher app from the data/app folder to the system/app folder that way its a lot less likely to be killed in the back ground.

Note: you will need to reboot once move if you only have the one Home Launcher.

I use "root explorer" app to do so.
