Huge Performance Boost after upgrading to Marshmallow from Lollipop on the Nexus Player

by ZakTaccardi

The performance on the Lollipop Nexus Player was a little disappointing. With Marshmallow, I was very impressed.

Can't wait to see what the Shield will be able to do with Marshmallow!

"Performance boost" in what sense, exactly?

I always buy Nexus devices, and I'm always in the last wave when it comes to mother fucking update roll outs.

I didn't feel any performance improvement from lollipop. But then I didn't have any issues with performance before.

Is the OTA out yet?

I had no issues with performance before the update. However, several bugs got squashed. Can now use voice search and netflix again! Both were broken in lollipop.

The only performance update I got was playing mpeg2 files. Since it's now hw decoded.

Didn't see much of a performance boost with the 6.0 upgrade. Wondering if there are some optimization settings to make the most of Marshmallow.
