The Android Lag Fix That Really Wasn't

[wraggster]

When Android was first introduced, it got much of its buzz in the open source community, and despite it being a mobile juggernaut backed by huge companies, it remains an open source project that anyone can submit code to. Thus, when a community patch that claimed to reduce the lag that still plagues the platform (http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/335541/android-lag-fix-really-wasnt) was created, it rocketed around various community code sites and was widely praised. The only problem: it didn't actually speed Android up (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265).
