Theres a lot of hype in the XDA forums recently around Linaro Toolchain for ARM.
I decided to put it to the test by recompiling my existing SentinelROM v4.40 source code for Nexus 10 using the Linaro Toolchain, then running a series of tests using the standard ROM and kernel, as well as the ROM and kernel compiled with Linaro toolchain.
See the results here in this video.
My impressions so far are good. Although there appear to be minimal gains in benchmarking apps, the overall user experience is noticeably better when compiled with Linaro.
