load time on nook

I am trying to make my first nook app as efficient as possible. I had some serious memory leak issues which I resolved, but it didn’t change my load time for my main scene (7 seconds). I then reduced the images as much as I dare, but still no change. Finally, I removed 1/2 of the images, but again… no change. It seems that no matter what I do I can’t seem to get the nook to load my primary scene in less than seven seconds. Is there something besides images I should be looking at that might reduce load time?

Thanks for any thoughts. [import]uid: 48122 topic_id: 24996 reply_id: 324996[/import]
