It's still not a very frequent operation tho. We're talking about users switching fore/background jobs here and the expedited synchronization w/ preemption enabled doesn't take much time. In addition, as it currently stands, android is doing memory charge immigration on each fore/background switches. I'm pretty doubtful this would make any difference.
Thanks.
