I dislike Quadrant scores. A little "lag fix" magically doubles scores, but I promise it is not doubling performance. Does it help? Yes. Does it skew quandrant? Very much so. I have a Samsung Epic which is extremelly smooth but wont out score a lot of other phones.
Just to make a point one of the Epic Dev's went and make a "fix" which boosted us to well over 2K scores but never released it because it really had no positive impact on the overall performance of the phone. The Epic can't use the lag fix because the Epic has a 512MB what they call a "OneNAND" which is very fast and prevents us from having much lag in the first place. The part that sucks is Samsung's "rfs" file system they use. I hate it, the devs hate it lol. Now if I can just get 2.2 I'd be happy. We have the beta but its buggy as hell.
