I am looking to benchmark my G1 with several different builds to tweak the performance. I have checked the market and found Neocore and CaffeineMark. Does anyone know of any other benchmarks available or have any suggestions for benchmarking the G1? Thanks.
Their is a linux program I used called "stress". It can probably be easily ported to run on android.
A huge bump for this thread. I am wondering if anyone has done performance comparisons with apps and data moved to sd vs not sd. I understand the benefits of having more space on the phone, but can it actually improve the phones performance or just prevent it from running slow when the space is limited?
Also, anyone seen any class 6 micro sdhc cards that actually tell you the transfer speed other than minimum 6MB/sec write speed? I can find many micro sd cards that advertise the rating and speed, but no sdhc versions.

I don't know if anyone ever thought about making swap on cappy . I just feel a bit of shortage in ram, even I use talon big mem version still feel inadequate. What I am thinking is to make swap on external sdcard because it's faster, anyone can help me with it? Thanks in advance.

are you talking about a memory swap file?
"make swap" isnt too descriptive.
SD cards under class 6 are slower than our "ram"
if you feel inadequate with a big mem version of talon, you have something wrong.
adding another process to constantly read/write and swap files would be THE LAST THING you would want to do with your phone....
Android is pretty efficient at managing memory .... and swap files are well, terrible when you have high speed storage (ssd's, nand,) and for the class on the sd cards it is misleading. A lot of cards have algorithms that help improve their read speeds, with SSD (or NAND) you want to see the random IO speeds for reads and writes (class speeds are for reads)

I mean memory swap.
And I have a class 10 card(tested read 20M/s and write 18M/s).
Thanks for your answersI'll think about it either way.
Does the captivate even have quick enough i/o to support class 10? And either way, like mentioned before Android IS very efficient at managing memory, which shows in their design of activities (read: onResume(), onPause(), onCreate(), onDestroy()). If your foreground app requires more memory than the system can provide, lower activities on the stack will be told to pause or destroy until a later time to free up memory.
If your phone's performance is suffering, it's most likely a processing issue. Perhaps you have some nasty services running (this could also be reflected in poor battery life).
I just ran into something weird when testing my HTC Sensation. I downloaded the PassMark benchmarking software. I ran the test and got a set of scores for CPU, Disk, and Memory categories. I removed the microSD card that came with my phone, copied everything onto a new Class 6 8GB card, and put that in the phone. I then re-ran the benchmark tests to see if the disk performance improved. There was an improvement, but check out the CPU Floating Point math results in the attached pic! Baseline #000486 was run with the 8GB card that came with the phone. Baseline #000501 was run with a new Class 6 8GB card. I copied everything on the original card to the new card and installed it. No other changes. Is this a fluke of some sort, or is there an explanation for the dramatic jump in performance?
That is quite interesting. can you try running quadrant with each of the sdcards? maybe also run Antutu as that has some good sdcard benchmarks.
I ran passmark myself now, and the results varied a bit, on the Floating Point that is. First time i got 50, second time 135, and third time 50 again.. my sdcard is a 32GB Sandisk (only class 2 i think).
The other results were pretty similar to yours, except the Data Compression, where I only scored between 140 and 200, compared to your 450.. no idea why..
Sounds like their beta version still needs a lot of work. As for Quadrant, I'll try running that tonight and posting the results here.
I ran Quadrant and got a score of 2022 with the old card and 2096 with the class 6 card. Not a big increase, so I wonder if its actually due to the variation in the program.
I'm getting this phone soon but just a couple questions.
Ive heard that the sensation has low available ram issues (probably sense?) but when/if a stock rom comes that should be fixed right?
Also since the avalible rom is pretty low. Would a class 10 micro sd be good for running data2sd (once we have root) were the whole data partion is on the sd.
is class 10 faster then the built in rom?
Having class10 won't make such a big difference (I purchased a class10 16Gb card and did not see any improvement compared to my class4) except that it will be faster to place big files (movies, etc) on the card
Concerning RAM, it's true that stock ROMs don't really manage it well, mainly because they start many apps in the background. Some can be killed, some will always come back after killed.
So once I've killed the useless apps after a fresh reboot, I can get a maximum of 350Mo free RAM, that tend to go to an average 250Mo after some hours of use.
Android 2.3 is not that bad in managing RAM (despite stock ROMs are) so I had low ram having a visible impact on something only once, when wanting to play Tekken 3 with Fpse and realized it was lagging because of low ram. My sensation was not laggy, only Fpse was, it demands much ressoruces! (I hadn't rebooted my Sensation for 3 days, that was the reason for low ram....now, I reboot it every 2 days, and no more problem)
So RAM is ok, if it gets kinda low, you won't notice it, and Android will tend to release ram afterwards, and once we'll have custom roms, it will be huge!
I'm curious about which MicroSD card is the best for the TF700 for Data2SD or Rom2SD. These days, read/write performance is the bigger issue over capacity. If you use data2sd or rom2sd, please share what card you use and some benchmarks to back it up. I heard that the TF700 might not be compatible with some of the fastest newest microSD cards and that the older ones might perform faster.
I have a 32GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSDHC UHS-I listed with a maximum speed of 48MB/s. I get 583 for Storage I/O and 635 for Database I/O in AnTuTu. In Quadrant, I get ~7000 for IO.
I have been wondering how we can use any Micro SD cards in the Tab as a RAM The performance of the tab is decent with the 1 GB RAM currently but it with some games like Asphalt 8 there are certain issues at times with frame freeze/drops on online gaming. Please suggest a sure shot way to do this.

There's some trick using ram expander, swap ram, but u need to find rom that support swap. Try this h.t.t.p://en.miui.com/thread-18816-1-1.html
