1) For this very reason, it doesn't make sense to optimize low-level components from the OS down to the hardware anymore, and hasn't for over a decade, if an improved user experience is your goal. The short-term effect may be a slight improvement, but it's a treadmill and the next wave of web crapware will more than nullify it. If a microkernel architecture with worse performance got established on all mainstream devices, the experience would be worse in the short term but in the medium term, the crapware would have to adapt so that it again becomes just barely usable as it is today. The problem is that the short-term gains create an incentive for users to buy/use the marginally faster hardware or kernel, which then forces everyone else to follow suit. |
