</div>These are due to the filesystem switch, or more specifically the<br>
switch in compression methods used. The result is significantly<br>
reduced disk utilisation (higher compression) but more CPU-intensive<br>
work needed to read and write files. Unfortunate, but true. A slowdown<br>
is expected, as a tradeoff for not shipping a nearly-full disk.<br>
<br>
What we've effectively done is reverted to what we had for 10.1.3. So,<br>
a more interesting comparison would be observing build 860 at the side<br>
of build 870. Bear in mind that some activities take a lot longer to<br>
launch the first time after flashing, e.g. Browse and Record, so care<br>
is needed to ensure the comparison is fair.<br>
<br>
