Android N is making apps install much quicker than in Marshmallow

AP has a video up that shows how long applications used to install with Marshmallow, and how they long they take to install with Android N.

The secret has to do with what Google is using for the compiler. ART runtime in Marshmallow is using an AOT compiler, which means that apps need to be compiled as they are installed.

With Android N, they are using a JIT compiler, which means they will be compiled when you need them instead of when you install them.
