[International / GSM] database read/write slow compared to preroot

[fuadakhan]

Hi,

I am new to the world of rooting and flashing and loving every moment of it

I know quadrant benchmark may not be a basis to truly compare different phones. However I am using the same galaxy nexus. My pre root (out of the box results) were much higher for I/O than after root (used wugs tool kit.). I returned to stock but the io still slow...specially on database write. I/0 is 1309 even after boosting CPU from 1200 to 1350 MHZ (using AOKP milestone 5 with stock kernel.)....is it possible that I have done something which prevents fluid communication with database?...any suggestions how to fix?

Welcome to the AndroidForums, fuadakhan .

Well, I can tell you that simply rooting (i.e., installing the su and Superuser.apk binaries) does absolutely nothing to your device unless you run an app that requests (and you grant) superuser (root) access to. Even then, its the app that requested root that has simply been granted access to privileged functions.

Rooting in and of itself does not affect a device's performance.

The Superuser app will, of course, be running and waiting for root requests to come in, but that's negligible in terms of resource consumption.

Doing further root-related tasks like installing a custom ROM, kernel, etc. could have an impact, but simply rooting a stock Android setup should not cause any performance differences.

One final note: you will see performance result differences from things like Quadrant and Linpack depending on when you run those apps. Running immediately after rebooting while there are still apps still being started-up will give you worse results. Waiting about five minutes after a fresh reboot will give you the best results. Bottom line re. performance: you results WILL vary unless you can create a stable, static environment in which to compare the results from run to run.

Anyway, welcome again to AF--we're very happy you signed-up with us here

Cheers!

Not sure about the Nexus but I found that if I ran Quadrant on my Desire time and time again each run would get a better score than the one before. This worked for the first 4 or so tries.

Shows just how 'useful' these tests are
