I agree that the request is not unreasonable but this thread has shown 
that there are also those users who don't use the dialer that often.
I feel that it has never been the common sense of the Ubuntu project 
that a user who does not use the project as some others do has to "deal 
with the consequences" for doing so.

And to be honest, is really that necessary to get a one second app 
launch time improvement for *a single app* at the price of slowing down 
the whole system and closing even more apps while they are in the 
background?
