This. Is. Awesome.

I installed over top of my ROM and I'm noticing super-smooth gameplay, not to mention the lag I used to get when playing ultra-high resolution videos is cut down to about a third of what I used to have.

Thank you! :D

i can probably cut that down to no lag for ya.. i have some updated EGL Adreno libs, and things to enable hardware rendering, and turn off software rendering... give me a few to go through my stuff lol

also, that wasnt sd read ahead.. that was Kernel/Memory Read Ahead, ive tried 2048 and so on, i dont notice any differences after 1024
