summary
ART shows concrete gains: heap compaction and a thread‑local bump allocator make allocations up to 18× faster versus Dalvik and save ~30% device memory, and a ray‑tracing demo runs in 47s on KitKat but 100–500ms on O (two orders of magnitude). Text measurement uses PrecomputedText to cut layout time (roughly 20× in the sample). Emulator Quick Boot and snapshots bring boot time down to about 1s and ADB push to ~0.5s versus seconds on real devices. Google’s testing stack reports virtual device stability at 99.9999% and snapshots trim test time ~30%.
