Has it occurred to somebody that when you are playing, surfing or doing something with your phone and then returning to main screen (well, pushing that little house button below), then "desktop" loads VERY slowly."
Answer: Yes. It happens when the system needs that ram the background app (Home) is using. The system then closes the Home app (because it's an app) and enables the current ongoing app you are using to use that ram so it can run good.
The system has some configs for that. It closes several background apps before it closes the Home app.

"Mine does it so."
Answer: As explained, is not only yours. It happens to a large number of very good smartphones with such amount of available ram. Even to the ones with doble the amount of the ram this devise has. It's normal.

"It loads like in 10 seconds."
Answer: It's normal. It's quite good, 10 seconds, its 1.4Ghz processor. Helps there.

"Is it because I use 16gb SD card?"
Answer: No. That has nothing to do. Although a 32Gb class 10 sd would be nicer.

"I have tried all kinds of taskkillers etc etc (do not consider me dumbuser). Nothing helps... :("
Answer: If you dont like such thing, its ok. Task killers wont really help here, what you need is to be aware of the apps that are running in the background when you are using some app, game or browsing. The most demandant task that will cause that event are browsing in multiple tabs and gaming.
So, what you need is that, and know that several apps start along the system when it starts, several. And such thing is intended for those apps to start faster when you eventually -want to- open them. In my experience Ive found that 'preloading' to be useless because apps still start fast, and that preloading only charges the cpu, battery and ram with unwanted processes causing them to work more and drain faster.
But, when the Home app gets automatically closed is because the system really needed its ram.
Ok, it can be configured to be left alone but that could compromise performance as the system wouldnt be allowed to close it down when it's necesary. You see?
So youd be better letting it as it is now.
Just to help you with the unwanted preloading; get your Honor rooted and buy RomTool Box Pro. One you get it I'll show you how to. It's a quite simple process and harmless. That app is a really must have one, it has several more uses, thats why I recommend it to you.
Once the preloading of the apps is terminated youll feel your Honor running much lighter and faster. Battery will last longer too. It's probable the shutting of the Home app stops too.
In my Xperia Pro it happens too, sometimes, mostly in the cases I mentioned. But not always. Sometimes I play nicely and can close the game to find the Home app right there, sometimes it's reloading. Nothing to worry about my friend.


"And more, is it worth to upgrade to Channel B928 as it suggests?"
Answer: Dont know of such thing.
But maybe I could suggest you to stay on Gingerbread, at least for one more year or unless you know you will get very benefited of the upgrade to ICS, and that it will work fine. Many have upgrade it and returned to GB. Just get very informed before you do it.
My Xperia Pro is running just perfectly fine on GB, cant see a reason to upgrade it.

Well, I hope I am not too late to give you some help. If anyone would like some advice, feel free to write to my starsky182@gmail.com. My Pro is quite similar to this Honor. Maybe we can share some apps or I can help you with something.
Happy day.
