Some of the other locks can help with speed too:

  - "the lockMessages" is a big one, if you don't
    need subsequent messages to be handled

  - "the lockRecent" can help some if your stack
    navigation isn't built on relative card
    positions (next cd, prev cd)

Check out the "Properties" intro card in the
Metatalk Ref for other locks.

Food for thought...
