This is general suggestion. It would be more helpful if you share VT results of samples that were faster than Behavior Shield.

That way they can study the samples :)

Do you really think that the aren't always trying to improve detections for any of the scans!

You have to realise that Bahaviour Shield is a very complex technology, that uses the cloud as well :

The technology is from avg and its a little new in Avast so give it time.

If you have any specific samples that IDP misses please post virustotal links here so Avast! Team can look and try to respond to your call.

They always work hard to improve the product but just plain suggestions don't help them when it comes to protection.

It is a general suggestion.

Well Generally that is exactly what they are doing all of the time, so they hardly require a general suggestion to continue what they are doing

This is something that I have seen in AVG in the past where it's too late to detect the threat.I am not sure if this is intended behaviour though..
