6 Seconds for any text to show at all? or 6 seconds for the progress bar
at the bottom of the screen to get to 100%?
I just tested it on mine, it takes about 4-5 seconds to show anything at
all. I can look more into why this is but part is the slowness of the
SWORD engine on these devices, second is the swapping of fonts, strongs
numbers requires a font switch every other word, but that still is
pretty fast otherwise scrolling would be a bear.
