Sorry I did misunderstand you :P
I have been using ART on all my android devices, it makes a noticeable difference in performance and battery life.

From what I read up on how it works, the uncompiled apps are put on the play store, and the device locally compiles it, and then runs the compiled file, as opposed to interpreting it as it goes. The only issue I have had with ART is 2 seconds of lag when the file is being compiled.

Eh, I don't think it is worth worrying about. I already have a google account with plenty of personal information associated with it. If google wants the data, they will probably find a way to get it anyhow.
