Current implementation is generating too much GC

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Pad
2. Drag your finger as much as possible
3. See logcat showing tons of big Garbage Collects every few seconds

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Little GC

Why?
With reduced GC, we get:
- Faster response
- Less "jumps". When GC runs, system stops responding
- Lower power consumption (yeah, not thaat important, but every little bit
counts)
