so...I have been playing with MIUI since, what, last October? Well, I had some time off yesterday from work (and wife and kids) and decided to do a study on kernels, speeds and voltages (the results of which are not important as each d1 seems to have different preferences). Anyhow - what I did stumble on is that my droid HATES a large VM Heap size. It seems that there is a movement to go with larger heap sizes as this 'seems' to make larger apps, such as big games, work faster. This obviously works well for devices with larger memories (512) but for the d1, particularly if you are running multiple apps and background processes...this seems counterproductive. For kicks I tested heap sizes of 24m, 32, 40 and 48m and then benchmarked using linpack and quadrant as well as running (the same) programs and just getting an overall feel for the devices responsiveness. Note: I use this phone for work and with the exception of solitare, rummy and jewels do not do any heavy gaming on my phone.I did benchmark significantly higher with 24m heap size - but more importantly my d1 no longer lags to any degree and actually benchmarks faster than both the last froyo miui build and petes last froyo build. Is there anyone else out there that could validate what I am seeing? Thanks, and by the way...thanks Magi - I am really enjoying this build. Not seeing the WiFi issue.I used VM Heap Tool to adjust, and would like to know if anyone else has played with this and what your results/feelings are with how it alters performance.
