I don't know if it's a common issue, but on my mobile phones EE takes some noticeable time to start (10+ seconds). Maybe it'd be possible to use some custom splash screen (one simple image) before all the loading stuff?

did you check google doc?
I think it should be set in manifest file

(on my phone the demo from the video launches in 6 seconds, this includes engine loading and world+objects)
