    Default Winterboard update-any faster?

    Recently after I created my poll about Winterboard slowdown, Winterboard got an update. The changelog says a huge performance increase: Do you notice an increase?

    I didnt notice any difference with the update of winterboard. Ever since i upgraded to 2.2, the phones been straight up snappier. Even with winterboard and all my widgets, the phone is still snappy. Then i upgraded winterboard, and noticed no difference. Thats just me though....

    Honestly, I see no difference in the performance of winterboard. However, unlike the above post, I did notice an improvement on the iphone. I notice that my 3G is now more responsive then before. However, winterboard is just the same it was before I upgraded it today on Cydia.

    Saurik has made the image loading mechanism more efficient.

    This will result in better speeds/less lag not a performance boost.

    Those with more widgets/HTML in their themes should notice more of a difference than those with less complex themes.

    I have a simple theme and have noticed a small speed increase in the initial loading of apps' splash screen.

    i've noticed speed improvements on my phone for sure...this is a great update! Hopefully Cydia is next with the speed update. That is by far the slowest loading/performing app on my phone now.

    Mine is snappier and loads quicker, however, I have to refresh on my own. Winterboard no longer self-refreshes with any changes I make. Maybe I should jb again...?

    I once had a similar issue and out of the blue decided to quickpwn my phone again and it all came back to normal. Give it a try it might help.

    I spoke with Saurik yesterday about some issues with Cydia, we should see an update fairly soon. Its the same for me, Cydia takes the longest to load.

    I am also experiencing the loading time with Cydia. However, every other apps take only between 2 to 3 seconds to open up and ready to go. Hope Saurik gives us that update quick.
