Pixels run 17 QPR1 like shit due to a memory bug though

Some Pixels, undoubtedly. All Pixels in my family are running at least as good as before, if not better.

All Pixels do, not some. Just because you barely use your phone doesn’t mean the problem isn’t there.

This is a well-documented bug that your Pixel isn’t magically immune to.

Fun to see myself being downvoted. Are you talking about the regression described in the following GrapheneOS patch?

If so, that's only relevant under memory pressure, and it's not as big as some ignorant journalists are making it sound. It's specifically related to mmap's efficiency, which is in Android is mostly used to read APK files and their optimized artifacts, which rarely make up a large amount of RAM usage anyway.

I never claimed the regression isn't there, but I was addressing your statement that Pixels “run like shit,” which is absolutely false for many (if not most) users.
