Just wondering if the Linero Code optimizations would have any impact on the captivate and if so, are any ROMS going to be implementing them?

From what I understand the Linaro optimization is a kernel mod not a rom tweak. With that being said Icy Glitch uses an older version of Linaro and he is looking at updating it to the newest version but had problems downloading the source. AOKP has their default kernel as Icy Glitch so maybe in the next update, but not really sure.

This has been a hot topic after the video of the new optimization that was posted.

That is a bit depressing if true.

It was my understanding that it was an optimization to the operating system itself. I really wish they would clarify these things in articles.

Oh well...

I believe Linaro optimizations is both kernel (toolchain) and rom modifications. Glitch does use a older version of said toolchain and I know that DerTeufel1980 and Stratosk where messing with it. Feed back about the actual kernel optimization has been very mixed. i9k semaphore alot of ppl say its amazing. Other devices say not big difference. All I know we have to be patience and wait until your great devs get it set up (all of it) right and really see if this works ;)
