Google claims that the latest update to the Android Runtime (ART) has resulted in app startup time improvements of up to 30 per cent on some devices.

The search engine outfit said that while "ART is the same for all devices the APEX module is a complex piece of software with an order of magnitude more APIs than any other APEX module. It backs a quarter of the developer APIs available in the Android SDK.

ART has a compiler that aims to make the most of the underlying hardware by generating chipset-specific instructions, such as Arm SVE.
