Have you seen this thread yet? The change worked great on my Legend with CM7RC4. It increased Write speed by 25% and more than doubled the read speed. Maybe something to include in the ROM settings?
Or you can use the SD Speed Boost from Market.. An app for setting the value..

Yes, i use it for 2 days. Write 8mb, read 22mb for my 8gb sd card.

Nice findig, indeed. Seems that 2048 works best for me. You might feel it while browsing pix or music.

I was lazy and grabbed SD speed booster from market. It worked nicely according to SD tool (roughly 60% increase in read speed and maybe 20% write), though I can't really say I noticed much of a difference myself.
Works great. Haven't tried it for too long but at least photo gallery seems smoother so it seems to actually do something. I just wonder why the default setting is so low. If someone at XDA can figure this out, surely Google or HTC can as well.

I have a mytouch 3g running CM6 and I have compcache on hit on and vm size is 24mb dithering is off. I have nothing on my home screen and I get a benchmark score of 3.6 MFLOPS. CPU is overclocked at 576 MHz with setcpu.
Any ways to help speed it up. I can't go the swapfile route cuz I have a class 2 card.

CM6.... A1 or A2?
A1 was a turd.
A2 is wickedly fast.
Be sure to enable compcache and disable dithering in Settings --> CM --> Performance.
On rc2 and its worse now and I keep running out of memory like 3. Mbs available.
Already have compcache on and dithering off

Only to those who understand both its benefits and drawbacks.
Recently had a wifi problem that made my phone stuck in a boot loop. Had to downgrade back to cm 5.0.8, it's waaay faster and idk why.

I read compcache is killing RC2. Through personal experience, this may actually be. Or it could be my phone. For some reason, my myTouch HATES Froyo ROMs. 100% SLOW. I can wipe and reflash a few times and it seems to catch hold, but it would die after a while as in my phone would get to homescreen and freeze. All times compcache has been enabled. But, as I said, my myTouch does just hate Froyo.
The mytouch can probably handle froyo, just needs tweaking or a better overclock. I wish I could find a working kernel to OC PAST 578. Just barely more would be enough

3.6 MFLOPS is a good score, I'd be happy with that. If you want it to run better, buy a new phone.
It showed that score but was always running like a snail.

I've got a G1, and top at about 2.5MFLOPS, maybe 3-4 with JIT on. Our phones just weren't made for the full power of android, sadly.
Sorry If this seems like a Newb type of question.. But is 26.3 fps a good benchmark score?
I'm Running...
android version 2.2
baseband version 2.42.01.04.27
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmodameer darchstar #9
mod version cyanogenmod-6.0.0-heroc-rc1
build number frf91
Is there a way to utilize my hero better?
If I understand it correctly, a lot of these "tests" are subjective and not really an exact measuring stick. I've seen as high as 32.2fps on my hero running PapaSmurf's Blue ROM. I have seen as low as 13fps on an unrooted 2.1 sprint stock ROM. So 26 is very good.
However I consistently get higher MFLOPS with CM6 and Froyo. But it isn't as simple as just saying "I have more MFLOPS so my phone is faster than yours".
Thanks for the info! What are mflops? Also are there any tips to speed up the phone?
I just used linpack and out said my mflops was 2.221?

MFLOPs are "Mega-FLoating Point Operations Per Second" - basically a measure of processing speed.
This is what I got the second time

Enable JIT, it will more than double. (this does not always translate to a "faster" phone)

You can install as many app as your hero can hold and still not slow your phone down. But if your installing apps that update in the background that is set for short intervals, than yes it will slow down your phone. Just be sure the apps you download that update in background can be set to longer update intervals. For example, if your using a gmail widget that updates your e-mail every 15-30 min, slows it down. Hope this helps you.

The only Widgets I'm running on my phone are google search, SetCPU, Sense Analog Small Clock. I also set up the phone so that I only have 3 screens instead of 5, 6, 7. I'm not too sure if that will make it faster.. I'm just more of a minimalist.
I'm running cm7 rc1, I've tried some ultra low, low, and medium voltage kernels from both cor and chevy but haven't found a custom kernal that will run stable. I've also tried the supercharger script, underclocking with setcpu, and using autokiller, but I can not, no matter what I try, keep my phone out of a low memory state and battery life that will last me longer than 5 and if I'm really lucky 8 hours. I'm not using any widgets, I keep wifi, 3g, and gps off most of the time, and have 1/3 of the apps I had on my eris loaded on the phone, all on the sd card. I've tried to recal the batt. but I think the process must be diff for the driod and haven't found a decent guide. Could anyone point me to a decent guied, good tools for saving batt life, and possibly a cashe to cashe script or simular for the droid? I would really appreciate it, thanks so much in advance.

Well, if anyone else has the same issue, I fixed my issues by partitioning my SD card with a swap partition and utilizing swapper 2 to use it. I turned off compucashe, and used the setting in autokiller to speed up r/w speeds on the SD card. I also set autokiller to optimal. I found Chevy's lv .125-.900 works well, I uninstalled setcpu, and set my Max speed @ .600, my min. @ .125 and I'm using the ondemand, scheduler because smartass and interactive seemed to be laggy. the phone runs snappy but battery life still leaves much to be desired, still experimenting with it.

Simple, just remove or move libGLES_android.so from system/lib/egl to somewhere else from that folder in case if your system gets unstable while working with 3D app/game. Tested with Quadrant Advanced, got 60+ fps on 3D Planet test.
This mod already does that but in a different way: it deletes libGLES_android.so in /system/lib/egl (you can see this in the updater-script). Like many people reported this boosted their 3D quadrant score and increased FPS in some games. Why? Because quadrant and some rare games conflict with PowerVR GPU cards and use software rendering instead. So by disabling it you force them to depend on PowerVR. Hence, more FPS.
My quadrant score on rubix rom :
without tips : 2200
with tips : 2722
the earth turn at 60fps
the adn turn at 42fps
with chainfire3d (instead of 3d app doesn't work):
quadrant score 2532
Deleting/renaming that file also fixes n64oid. Great find.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
seems to work great. i don't do quad scores, but i play this game called trial x. on my og droid the graphics were fine, but on my d3 under the dirt bike was pixilated. removed that file and now more pixels. so it must have done something positive.
I moved the file to my sd card, rebooted opened up trial x and I still get the pixelation under the dirtbike.

Rather then deleting or moving can we just rename it and it still be affective?

Benchmarks?
Hey about to try this out after I make this quick TWRP backup. Anyone have any AnTuTu increases they could post or any other benchmarks or is it more of a behind the scenes kind of deal?
Either way, thanks for the info! Great community here much love:good:
soi curreltny made a 256 mb swap file and using v6 supercharger and everything but i didn'treally notice a difference in game performance , i can open like 5 apps but games nbot really?is it normal?
The smoothness of games depends also on the power of the cpu and gpu, which isn't the ace's strenght.
Swap helps for multitasking and keeping apps in memory longer (which reduces app loading time) but it won't make games run better or faster.
I guess little bit it help in performance of game as its usefull in load game data faster !

If your sd card is class 6 or lower, it can even slow down your games
After installing some heavy games, there's really no gaming difference. Only multi tasking has drastically improved.
I even tried out JB this afternoon using this same method and it still didn't make a gaming difference. The multi tasking is awesome though so I have no complaints.

I bought an extra one just for swap. Bought a 4GB class 4. Not risking my 8GB. It's hard on a SD with INT2EXT+ also installed. I don't know how long it'll last but once you got swap, you'll never go back.
I can play Tank Hero, switch to facebook on Opera Mini while answering to chats on WhatsApp and IMO instant messenger. Without having my game interrupted. AND run a bunch of widgets that would slow down my phone. Multi-tasking is incredible.
And the best part is, since I'm using a swap file and not partition, I can shrink or increase the swap size at will

Don't generalize. It's useless to you. I bet you haven't even used it before.
