Other than a faster kernel, what are some things you can do to increase performance?
I'm running sapphire .70 with P3Droid's 2.6.32.9 at 1100 MHz and got a 1301. Is that bout what I should expect?
well for perspective on cm alpha 3 and jdlfg 1.2ghz kernel on performance i can avg 1680ish and peak up to 1710 or so.
Things you can do? hmm Well, I highly suggest deleting every app you do not use or need. Things like FB, mp3store, corpcal, exchange, genie widget... if you don't use them uninstall them. They try and put themselves into memory even if you don't run them and a few try getting data off the network. If you don't use LWP's delete them all. Clean your caches or get an app to do it and if you use rom manager or have a similiar app or script, fix your permissions. Remove all widgets that are not completely necessary, set to the min number of needed screens. (i use 3 and mostly only use 1 or 2, people with 7 screens covered top to bottom in icons and widgets who complain of lag and slow speed make me *facepalm myself). OH and before I forget, if you have a favorite launcher (I prefer ADW) delete the other ones (move the wallpapers to another location if you want to save them).
use a memory tuner app or something like autokiller (i like it).
set setcpu to performance and make sure profiles are off (prob not an issue, but I think i've caught it trying to overide my performance mode).
Your score should go up significantly..... also, not sure if it's from the data being cached already, but as soon as you get results, immediately hit test again. your 2nd-5th tests will usually be noticeably higher.
edit: doesn't work with quadrant since it seems to require your results be sent to their server, but for things like linpack turning airplane mode on can give you a few extra points.
