Default Linaro tweaks are HUGELY impressive

OMFG! if we (xda-developers) can get sources for samsung's i717 (note) kernel - we can get *much* faster performance by patching this against it: http://liliputing.com/2012/06/androi...to-linaro.html

These compiler optimizations are pretty darn impressive. and I think they could speed up our device substantially... I've been complaining about the lack of hardware optimization (especially memory allocation, but cpu optimizations as well) for years now. finally someone saw it and did something about it. hoping it'll come to the masses soonish.

(note, i didn't want to post this in the dev forum as there's nothing currently to act on, also, i'm an interested third party and have no stake in linaro)

Wow.. Nice!! I Thxs for the heads up... Hmmm, wait jus one minute, without the source code the developers can't use this... Soooo that means my anticipation/frustration level increases at least one order of magnitude. Why am I thanking you? You should apologizing, I mean it's not like I can unread your post....

Compiler optimizations are just one of many things linaro did there to improve performance. They also optimized the kernel and userspace stuff.
