Profiling startup:
adb shell am start -n org.mozilla.fennec_aurora/.App --es env0 MOZ_PROFILER_STARTUP=1 --es env1 MOZ_PROFILER_SHUTDOWN=/storage/emulated/0/profile.json
If it looks like the buffer is not large enough, you can tweak the buffer size with the env var MOZ_PROFILER_STARTUP_ENTRIES.
This defaults to 1000000, which is 9MB. If you want 90MB use 10000000, and 20000000 for 180MB, which are good values to debug long startups.

Compact disk in VMWare

After expanding the VMWare disk, resizing the partition works via gparted
first swapoff, then move swap partition, then expand main partition in a separate step, otherwise gparted will force 1 MB of unallocated space between the two partitions

"kill -9 -1" to get back to login screen
either clear ~/.cache/compizconfig-1, or copy it from a fresh user
