We explained the interface and the settings menu of a launcher several times in the Apex launcher review, and as the setting menu and the app drawer of Holo is almost same as Apex, we are not going through it.

This option will force the launcher to sit on the Ram, so it can load instantly. This option is recommended to people who are looking for high speeds.
