Does SailfishX use full cpu/gpu power? (spoiler: no)
If I compare the performance of my Xperia X before and after SailfishX (official) flashing, I suspect it's no longer using the full power of its six-core cpu. Is there a way to check that?

Currently it does not. Antutu scores about 75k on Xperia X with Android 7.1 and about 45k on SailfishOS with Alien Dalvik.
EDIT: Of course it does not. Alien Dalvik runs Android 4.4.4 and therefore uses the Dalvik JIT runtime, while Android 7.1 uses the ART runtime with pre-compiled executables, hence the gain in speed.
what does that mean? Can you put it into relation to the J1 or Jolla C maybe?
fooza ( 2017-10-17 20:04:16 +0300 )I just realized that Alien Dalvik is, as the name says, Dalvik, while Android 7.1 runs ART. This is for sure the reason for the difference in performance.
Giacomo Di Giacomo ( 2017-10-17 21:28:52 +0300 )I guess that is related to a known issue mentioned in the release notes:
Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores
In Alien Dalvik that may even be completely different story.
I notice that sometimes when the Xperia CPU Core 1 gets overloaded 100% persistent, it brings the entire phone to a crawl.
