Was it a mistake incident requiring a correction or Christmas gifts? The answer is ART , an update that Android really positioned differently, if not before, the competition.
ART or Android Run Time is responsible for running all the applications in the Android system. It has been expelled from his predecessor Dalvik ' (the name of the village of Dan Bornstein , creator of Android, Iceland ) , which was the embodiment of the similar task from the time Android was first released . Compared to antiretroviral therapy , according to the tech gurus worldwide , Dalvik " no big deal " . The update will provide the following benefits to users :
1. speed
The previous version of the executor uses the process of 'Just -In- Time "( JIT) , which means that the source of the request application had to be converted into the executable program, each time the application is started. No get perplexed ! Yes it does , in a heartbeat.
Whereas, the new version uses ' Ahead- Of- Time' process (AOT ) and the application is installed and ready to run when the application is installed . To increase the confusion , heartbeat Dalvik is not as fast as . The start time of application is reduced by 50 % and will have 'The Fast Effect ' of the speed of your smartphone.

Background processes will run faster than before and the phone actually work smart to work hard to run those applications and background processes . While using the phone will not be able to see a big difference, however, the battery used to drain in efforts to keep the process going now cooled , leaving a positive impact on the juice.
Google reports claimed an improvement of 30% increase in the IST ( idle timeout ) , however users and critics have their own point of view. Citing guru technical improvement was visible in the IST , but not in 30% as claimed by the developer , but with a significant 20 % , taking into account the changes and continuous improvements.

Applications not only took a little long to be installed on your smartphone, but also ate more space. In the previous version , due to the availability of JIT implementation process space freed when they were closed , however , with the use of ART acquired space was 10 % -20 % more . This is because the programs written in a way that this problem was visible and predictable . But about 3 MB ( Mega Bytes ) application uses 3.3 MB or 3.5 MB , the maximum space on your smartphone 32 GB, you do not worry much about it.
Two . Compatibility Issues
With the launch of ART and critics who use it, they mentioned that in the early stages of many applications they were having compatibility issues including WhatsApp , however , with the latest update 4.4.2 compatibility issues have been fixed. 99 % of the main applications is running smoothly with the fixed version . The list of supported applications is long and robust. For those you encounter any problem with frequently used applications , you can switch back and forth between Dalvik and ART.
