Is it really that "blazingly fast"? Are there any numbers to back it up?
I'd be curious to see Real numbers for custom ROM vs a stock TP with just the TP essentials tweaks.
I don't doubt the Custom ROMs maybe a bit faster but I don't think it is as blazing in real-life as most perceive it to be.
And as far as bloat, the TP has plenty of memory (sans VZN) so it is not as big as an issue as with the Mogul. Unless of course you regularily open up the Windows folder with File Explorer.
