> That means you have to use Proguard for each build (even development) and Proguard pass can easily run for several minutes even on a 16G SSD equipped machine - killing development speed.

No, not really. You can just install the standard library on your Android device for development, and only use ProGuard on the final release.

Not when you reach 64k methods together with libraries for a debug build. Of course, unless you want to go through the joy that is loading another .dex file :)

The library you would use for Android (xbase.lib.slim), has about 2.5k methods.
