I've been doing some testing on both the emulator and using Nexus 4.
Testing startup time of Contacts app from unity, the command line, and
upstart.

The results can be found here:

There is a clear performance hit using upstart but not yet clear what
exactly is causing the slowdown. Some of the timing suggests that part
of it may be chaining upstart jobs and the overhead associated with
that. But most likely there are other causes.

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to trusty, applications have been taking longer and
  longer to load. While on the one hand, there is feature work and
  investigation to do, see:
  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdev-1311-sdk-apps-
  performance on the other hand, this is a regression and should be
  handled via a bug report for that reason.
