Has anyone had any experience running SkySafari in ART? This is becoming the new run time, so I wondering how reliable it would be. ART is suppose to be faster than Dalvik, so maybe a performance boost?


My phone and tablet are both set to use ART. I can't say that I really
saw any difference in actual performance. SkySafari ran smoothly
before I changed the default, and seems the same afterward.

As is often the case with modern hardware and software, many of the
enhancements that are designed to improve performance are more likely
to show up in benchmarks than they are to be readily apparent in
ordinary use.

Do you see some sort of performance issues with SkySafari? On my phone
or tablet, it seems to do everything without noticeable delays. I'm
not sure what better performance would look like.
