Sometimes I listen to 20 minutes of a VC Tech Bro podcast just to wonder what I would be like if I had that much irrational certainty (and ketamine.)

Let's dive into this performance issue a little more

When you call Activity.setRequestedOrientation(), your app process makes a blocking Inter Process Call (IPC) to the system_server process.

That's the "binder transaction" you see in the picture.

In another case we found that requesting an orientation lock (binder transaction) would block for 100 ms because the binder reply thread was waiting for a lock held by the android.display thread which is blocked on IO for 100 ms.

Still trying to figure what's up with that.

A relatively large project with a lot of layout files. My decisions from 2019 are giving me a good smacking.
