Loading apps seems to take too long while in standalone mode

[AlexD711]

Hi there!

I am using Sencha Touch 2.0. And it's to be used on iPads.
The issue I have run into is that my app takes much longer to load when started from a homescreen icon (1-3 minutes!!) then it takes to load starting in Safari address string (10-15 seconds).

The app is quite big, the compiled app-all.js is ~168K and compressed app.css is ~ 178K + about 4K a text config file + 2K index.html
With this sizes the 10-15 secs loading time seems to be reasonable, but 1 to 3 minutes makes it ... unrealistic...

Why does it take it that long to load it in standalone mode and are there any ways to improve it?
For a time being the only slution visible is to create a bookmark in Safari and make users launch safari first...

Thanks in advance!

Hi again! Could anyone help with this please?
Is it OK for an app of ~300K to load about 3 mins?

Is it OK that an app in standalone mode takes much longer to load then while simply inside the Safari browser?

Thanks you,
Alex
