I've been using ART ever since KitKat came out for the Nexus 4, and have had no problems with it. It seems pretty stable.

- pkulak 13y agoBut are there benefits?
- ahomescu1 13y agoI haven't measured, but it feels faster (some apps seem to load much faster, Wikipedia for example).
- sp332 13y agoApps should start faster, since they don't have to wait for the VM to identify hotspots and JIT them. This should also lead to reduced memory usage overall.
- twotwotwo 13y agoI'd guess ahead-of-time compilation means they can "afford" slower compilation times (i.e., a slow compile won't disrupt the flow of user in an app). And that would give them room to do more optimization. But that's totally a guess.
