Another reason for me to run cm9:

A couple of weeks ago there was an announcement about some significant performance improvement (something like 10% across the board if i remember correctly, I'll try to dig up a link tomorrow) would land in the nightlies in the next few days. I haven't found it in the changelogs, but i guess it should be in there by now.

Subjectively recent nighties do seem more snappy and I'm pretty happy battery life seems to be improving slowly too.

I don't see the KSM setting in my advanced settings anywhere though... Guessing it has been enabled by default now maybe...

That would be the Jellybean update, no?

Actually I meant... <dig dig dig>... http://liliputing.com/2012/06/android-is-about-to-get-a-l...

Linaro made Android compile using GCC 4.7 ... 30% to 100% improvement.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's in Jelly Bean too. I haven't heard anything about this after the newsflash.

Anyway (if it's is all true) I find that another nice reason to use CM.
