I just downloaded Android 2.2 (Froyo) for my Samsung Vibrant.  I was getting about 8.4 MFLOPS on my stock rom and now I’m seeing 13.4.  Woohoo!  It’s nice to know when an update does not negatively impact the performance on my phone.

Also, for all the comments I get on the Market that Linpack “only runs on Snapdragon”  or it wasn’t developed on Humingbird processors.  Sorry, but you’re wrong.  My main development phone is the Vibrant.  Why, because it’s my day to day phone. 

Just as raw Horsepower in a car is not the sole measure of what car to buy, MFLOPS isn’t either.  But, it is fun to take it out to the drag strip to see who’s the fastest.
