SRAM was also cool (my HP-48 has that :) but way too expensive.. |

At the risk of being considered naive , i have a question. Every now and then in the forums , i read sailfish users complaining about apps closing in the background. Even with very heavy usage , my N9 and N900 rarely got into a state where it becomes completely unresponsive. So what would be the reason for sailfish having to kill apps in the background more frequently than N9 0r N900 even with cleverer fine tuning ?Is it only because of alien dalvik?This single problem questions my mind every time i think about buying an OPX or nexus and load sailfish in it. Sometimes i get the feeling other than the big brother stuff , there is nothing sailfish brings over android. P S : I have never used a sailfish phone. Forums are my only info source. |

@padmaraj.ravi,
The answer is very simple. The reason is the criminally inefficient use of resources in Sailfish, particularly RAM. You will have people blaming Alien Dalvik (AD) but I have never allowed AD touch my Jolla and still see apps killed at the background. The biggest change that brought most Out-Of-Memory (OOM) problems was the 1.0.8 update that upgraded Qt. After that, you were lucky to run more than three apps simultaneously, even without AD. For me, it was sometimes enough to run just one(!), the browser. Have two tabs open and try opening the third - bang! The browser gets killed. To Jolla's credit, the 2.0.0 update fixed a lot of OOM issues. In fact, since 2.0.0 came out, I have seen only one instance of an app killed by OOM. Others' experiences may vary if they use AD. For them, 2.0.0 may or may not have fixed the problem, or it may have made it worse. |

Moar info.
Smartphones from Gregory Berezkina will appear later this year. They will be running modified Sailfish OS Google translated version Quote:

Levono with real sailfish without modified OS would be nice. |

[OT]Thanks for the pointer, I am keen to try KolibriOS on an old subnotebook I purchased recently. I like the fact that true to their mission, their website is also lightweight and loads instantly, even in the Jolla's browser.[/OT]

It's of course true that software tends to get bloated when new features are added. Efficient optimization mitigates it to some degree as well as other design choices (just thinking how my wife's iPhone 5S works with just 1gb of RAM), however doing it requires time and resources, both which Jolla has lacked since from the beginning. It's balancing between time to delivery, features and money. Positive part is that now developer base for Sailfish is increasing. However, I have some reservations about the ownership of the company as I don't yet know how closely it's tied to Kremlin and how it might affect the development in the future.
