First thing first, while reparining my O3DS XL I accidentally scratched the upper screen with the screwdriver, noticed later.
Sadly, I was too dull at the time for considering screen protection.

I don't wanna replace the screen entirely, seems a cost too big, I've seen online discussion about pastes for repairing scratches, what are them and how could I get one which doesn't cost too much?
Second, do you advice good screen protectors? I bought some on aliexpress but their coverage sucks, they aren't of the exact size.

Third. Of course, I installed CFW and gm9, but since then, my O3DS takes exactly 15 seconds to boot, and no, I haven't enabled splashes. Is it normal?

Fourth. since I have some 3DS dumps, I'd like to "switch identities", something like having the files to substitute (including the main mii and SSL certificates for auth with nintendo server) and freely exchanging them when I want to switch identity. BUT, I want to keep the encryption/decryption key for games and saves.
Since I suppose 3DS Nand has a limited number of writings you can do (like every flash memory) + isn't replaceable, I don't wanna do modifications here, but I thought about having an EmuNAND. Is this a decent choice, and if not could you advise other solutions? If it is, how could I do this? It's not really documented.

EmuNAND starts a little slower than sysNAND, but it's not much slower. 15 seconds could be explained if you have a big SD card (128GB+) that's also full, or a card thats's formated sub-optimally with large clusters.

Yes, I do have a big sdcard, but this happens even if the sdcard is not mounted. Thus I suppose the problem resides into the SysNAND
