Startup animation is way faster than it ever has been. I'm actually getting tearing sometimes.

SD video playback is much improved. I used to get a few dropped frames here and there, but this is much smoother. The Youtube app is actually on par with the WM one now for SD playback.

HQ video playback is actually worse, but it doesn't really matter since it was never viewable to begin with. It used to show two or three frames every 10 seconds or so, and now it seems to just lock up and stick on the same frame for the whole video.

Overall, the UI seems a little smoother. Not sure if it's just been a while since I've spent so much time in Android, but the edges and corners of buttons and widgets look cleaner than I remember.

Did you test with 3d enabled ? the tearing and missing frames are probaby due to copybits. This is a userland lib that may need adjusting to play nice with the new framebuffer. I tried cyanogen again and the startupscreen there is actually really smooth but i get the same copybit error there as well. For 3d to work well we need copybit and gralloc to be flawless. right now they are failing.
