Update preloaded-classes for Honeycomb.
We preload classes for two reasons. Classes that are popular can be shared and can increase the number of apps that can be run concurrently. Classes that initialize slowly can be initialized at system boot time by the zygote, decreasing the time to launch a specific app. To select which classes to preload, I exercised Android's built-in apps as well as these apps from Market: ESPN score center, Amazon, Flixster, Twitter, Adobe Reader, Ebay Mobile, Facebook, Solitare (Ken Magic), Barcode Reader, Google Earth and Square. A cycle of launching ~460 (non unique) activities in sequence took 9m35s with the previous preloaded-classes list. The update improves the launch time of the same sequence to 9m27s: the marginal improvement over the previous set of preloaded classes is negligible. http://b/3004763 Change-Id: Ida511ae31eeff6d95d9cb6aacae68b9bb9dd2ebe
