There are plenty of optimizations that will contribute to the performance improvements that come alongside Android L, but the biggest change is Google's move
from the Dalvik runtime to the newer ART runtime.
Although not as radical as the change
from Dalvik to ART, Android O's platform changes will still probably rock the Android boat at its core.
In terms of performance, Google said that Android L moves
from the Dalvik virtual machine (VM) to Art in order to dramatically improve application performance.
Moving over to ART, Android Runtime, permanently, Google promises a 15 - 20 % performance increase using the same apps just by moving
from Dalvik to ART.
But that was always going to be the case, with Android Lollipop being a significant leap from KitKat, with Material Design and the shift
from Dalvik to ART (Android Runtime) as the default runtime among a number of other changes.
That's because back in Lollipop, Android made the switch
from the Dalvik virtual machine to the Android Runtime (ART) which compiles apps ahead - of - time.
