+Overdraw
+  * Overdraw is how many times a pixel is drawn in a single frame
+  * Turn on Show Overdraw in dev options to debug
+  * Tints showing overdraws
+  * Overlapping backgrounds
+Understanding VSYNC
+  * Refresh Rate
+  * Frame Rate
+  * If refresh rate > Frame Rate, you get tearing
+  * Double buffering by the GPU
+  * VSYNC will copy from GPU to screen during VSYNC
+Profile GPU Rendering Tool
+  * In dev mode on device
+  * Keep all bars < 16ms!
+GPU
+  * DisplayList submitted to the GPU
+  * Turn on the GPU View in dev mode. Invalidates will show in red.
+  * Use Hierarchy Viewer
+App Launch Time
+  * Don't display a splash screen

+  * Rotate images instead of separate images.
+  * Smaller code
+  * minifiedEnabled: true
+  * Optimize code like enums (which get inflated to a class)
+  * JARs can be large. Proguard only helps a bit. Find smaller alternatives.
+  * You can split APKs into different versions
