While we should and will reduce the total amount of I/O due to Session Restore, I must add that we have not attempted to compare it to the total amount of I/O due to cache access for instance. I would not be surprised if the cache caused several orders of magnitude more I/O than Session Restore, in which case our efforts on Session Restore would have little to no impact on the life-time of your device or on the battery usage.
Tobas, if you have an opportunity to perform a comparison, this would be an interesting piece of data.
