Enabling JIT?

All Android devices could be getting a noticeable performance boost later this year. We have seen companies like Myriad pushing their Dalvik Turbo compiler which they claim offers “3x faster applications, richer game graphics and better battery life to Android”.

Myriad is working with carriers and handset makers to incorporate their software into their Android builds, but it looks Google might beat them to it.

Google has assembled their own team of engineers that is working on a Dalvik JIT Compiler for Android. JITstands for “just in time” compilation, and allows software to run faster by “compiling bytecode into native machine code at runtime which substantially increases performance”. I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert on JIT, so I’ll defer to Wikipedia if you want the full scoop.

linked thread is x10 mini, dont know if it will work on zte blade

Personally I didn't think it was hot news that

"Google has assembled their own team of engineers that is working on a Dalvik JIT Compiler for Android"

so I googled the phrase.

Google picked it up almost a year ago. Feb 2010.

From http://androidandme.com/2010/02/news/jit-c...than-you-think/

So "later this year" means last year, 2010.

I think they were referring to the arrival of FroYo...

Enabling JIT?, would there be any benefit of this for 2.1 users?

wait there are 2.1 users ? :D
