I went from getting 4-7 locks in about 30 seconds, to getting 6-10 locks in about 12 seconds! I switched back and forth a couple times and it was very consistent for both. Meanwhile, my signal strength stayed the same, and Bob has already shown battery life is the same.
I encourage everyone on the Sprint radio to do some testing with GPS tool and see if you dont get the same results!
Also, I did try 21015 for most of the day, and honestly I didnt see any speed increase vs. 20954 (20954 has so far been easily the fastest build I've tried, and I've tried all of the 6.1 builds that Scott has made available in his kitchens).
I still feel that 20954 and 20931 are the two best builds, they each have things they do better, but are very close overall. I went back to 20954, didnt feel like spending the time setting up another rom and have good, fully set up backups for 931 and 954.

Love reading your posts, bast!
Always very informative and very nicely done! Thank you for the great info!
I do wanna toss my 2ยข in on the radio thing.
I am one that believes that results will vary based on where your geographical location is.
Personally i find the same GPS sat locking results you get on the ZVW radio, with the sprint radio... 9-12 sats, always in less 15 seconds. I feel like i get slightly better reception as well (but i live in an area that is more rural than not, so not a ton of towers around here). and of course you are correct, bob pretty much definitively settled the battery question for us.
My advice on radios would be try them out, see which one works best for you in your area!
PS... i'm leaning towards the same opinion about OS's... think i'll ultimately end up back on 20931.
