For those who updated ICS - are there any Performance gains

[nook-color]

I see threads on the issue of Glitches that some have had with ICS update. But nothing that really covers the noticeable performance benefits ... if any when updated.

Was hoping we could keep this topic focused on Benefits of ICS update over Honeycomb that are noticeable.

i.e. Better Benchmarks, Faster web browsing or page loading, .pdf rendering, gaming, etc.

Thanks

Everything you mentioned is better for me. don't have any of the issues some are experiencing with Ics. its a small number of people thats having issues.

yes ICS is way smoother. lag when just flipping through screens is gone, web page is faster. Some apps are more buggy (ex: youtube) but that is bc they probably need ics update.

A lot faster and smoother switching from one app to another, opening multitasking sidebar, opening app drawer, switching home screens, etc

Cf bench showed overall 10% gain in scores across the board

Much smoother overall for me.

The lag in screen to screen transitions has been greatly improved. Also key input lag from the keyboard dock is not noticeable for me anymore.

To me it a little smoother but that could be a placebo, but the browser is way faster in my opinion. Pages almos load instanly where in honecomb the progress bar we gert about to 75% and then just sit there for what seemed an enternity sometimes. This has not happened in ics

It has a small performance gain but to be honest, it wasn't exactly slow before so you are not going to see any huge difference.

I agree with all above. Much faster web browsing and no more force closes/freezing the whole prime when the page locks (happened a few times to me on HC). Homescreen transitions are smooth and slick, camera is MUCH better and more fun to use. The list goes on, plus there are additional features that ICS introduces that are really cool. No brainer to upgrade for sure.

Much faster, smoother, and lag-free.

One thing i haven't seen anyone mention is the boot time is 1/3 as long as it was on HC.

Web browsing much improved for load time,scrolling,pinch to zoom...across the board.
App store is smoother
Gestures.swipes,scrolls....all improved.
Support for more video containers natively

Camera app...greatly improved. 1080p video is lag free.

That's just the tip of the ice cream...all of the core gapps are enhanced not just the browser.

Love it!
