Okay, I've narrowed it down to the database drivers or libraries. If I 
create an apk without any database inclusions, everything is snappy and 
runs great. I get some database connection errors in my scripts which is 
to be expected, but reaction to touch events is instant and card changes 
are fast.

Then I recompile with the database driver (mySQL) and database library 
and bam. By the clock, 14 seconds from a mouseDown to script execution. 
What has me puzzled is that this happens on every button, every touch, 
every card, regardless of whether or not it uses database calls. For 
example, a button with only a single line of script "go card xxx" has 
the same delay. On a card with nothing but a list field, a tapped line 
takes 15 seconds to recognize the tap and hilite.

So something about the database is blocking everything else. I haven't 
worked with it before so I don't know what. Are there some techniques I 
should be using, like closing connections at a certain time or something 
else?

The stack works fine on desktop, btw.
