On ARM (by far the most prevalent in terms of actual Android hardware), Dalvik beat Xamarin almost every time, until Xamarin.Android 4.7.11.<br><br>What is odd about this is that these results are from 2013, over a year after Xamarin posted their claims about <b><u>astonishingly</u></b> superior performance vs Dalvik. It is interesting that Xamarin do not disclose what environment their benchmarks were run in. Also interesting that they do not compare themselves to ART which is the more relevant comparison going forward.<br><br>In any event, I don't think there is any chance that Google will drop ART any time soon (they already dropped Dalvik) in favour of a Mono based implementation of Android. ;)<br></div><div><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 29 July 2015 at 13:51, Leigh Wanstead <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:leigh.wanstead@gmail.com" target="_blank">leigh.wanstead@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Jolyon,<div><br></div><div>I mentioned to you before in the thread. If google choose to use mono framework in android, xamarin apk size can reach several kb too. The reason for me to use Xamarin is the app developed by Xamarin using mono framework is faster than dalvik before ART time. The load time for the app is not my main concern. I care about the speed running the app for whole lifecycle.
