TL;DR
- Google is introducing a new system in Android 17 to reduce time software threads spend waiting for each other to complete.
- By revising how access to memory is temporarily locked, DeliQueue lets threads run with fewer interruptions.
- That could result in a 4% reduction in apps dropping frames, or as high as 7.7% across the Android system UI.
You may not even be consciously thinking about it, but chances are you notice that something’s up when your Android phone isn’t running as smoothly as it could be. Everything still gets done — you swipe around, navigating the system UI, jumping in and out of apps — but sometimes scarifies need to be made for Android to keep up with you, and that can mean dropping frames. You might see it as stuttering, or scrolling that’s not quite as smooth as at other times. But with Android 17, Google’s introducing some changes that could make this phenomenon quite a bit less pronounced.
