Disk I/O

The Disk I/O widget allows you to emulate devices with slow internal storage. The Disk I/O widget is handy if your app reads large amounts of data from the disk. The Disk I/O widget targets examples such as gallery apps that load locally stored images. The Disk I/O widget also targets game apps that load large files.
