Android 4.3 supports TRIM

[1up5dn]

Interesting article about the new version of Android (4.3). This may explain why some people have complained about their OG Nexus 7 getting sluggish over time.

Hopefully this will help alleviate system slow downs going forward (and hopefully 4.3 will make its way onto more devices).

Android 4.3 supports TRIM, improves performance on Nexus devices

Good discussion at the referenced AnandTech source -

AnandTech | Android 4.3 Update Brings TRIM to All Nexus Devices

I tried grepping my log for fstrim and didn't find it though I thought I've met the criteria for its execution since updating to 4.3. I'd be curious as to what others find.

Lagfix requires root which I have not set up.
