        @aral @balexander @wesscope it matters. You can make many apps look stupid/run poorly by opening up a few apps doing intense work in the bg.

        @aral @balexander sounds like someone needs to learn about ARC

        @rekle @aral Nope, this could happen with ARC as well. I’m guessing they needed to ship and had a HUGE xml payload to parse.
