Ionic 2 - App opening really slow

You can try building with --prod
It does work for me.

RC4 seems slower to load the app

Hello. I’ve updated my app to use ionic v2 RC4 today, and when I’ve run the app on my Android device, the app’s loading time has increased a bit in comparison with the previous ionic 2 version. Now, after the splashscreen fades, the app still spends about 2 seconds more in a blank screen before showing the app. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any advice about what can I do?
