If it was as easy as pointing a finger and saying "here optimize that," then it probably would have already been done. 90% of the effort in optimization is figuring out exactly what is slow and can be improved. So if you want to proceed into this -- pull out a profiler and start digging in. For

"real time" != "better performance". It is a different approach to scheduling work, which is not really appropriate for most uses of Android. On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 12:42 AM, vamsi android wrote: > Hi, > > Regarding Realtime patches, I was successfully able to patch it on normal > linux kernel,

Yes, I agree with Greg, as 2.6 kernel versions are all *Pre-emptible* which makes it close to real time, is'nt it ? Any performance tools will be useful to measure. Does Android CTS will cover some performance tests ? We are not sure when we will get CTS in our hands also. Rgds, Gulshan On 10/9

Hi Team, I am not able to get any leads regarding real time support in Android. I also have a quick doubt regarding android kernel performance tools, are there any tools that android provides for testing time taken for scheduling a task, latency etc? Thanks, Vamsi On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 12:17 PM
