-h1. %{color:red}LINARO: INSERT EXPLANATION & WORKAROUND(?) FOR INTERPRETER ISSUE%
+*OBSERVATION*: We observed poor performance of apps with ART in the released pre-built images and sources. This is because, in eng builds ("TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng") apps are not compiled for faster startup. Unfortunately, we found this very late in release test cycle and couldn't modify our release on time, please follow the workaround suggested below :
+
+* Background: The default build scripts (linaro_android_build_cmds.sh) included in this release builds the Android sources for "TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng", this in turn sets the compiler-filter option in dalvik.vm.dex2oat-flags to "interpret-only" mode (refer build/core/main.mk).
+
+* Work Around: If user is interested in performance of apps we suggest them to re-build the sources for "user" mode instead of "eng" mode. In the script file linaro_android_build_cmds.sh, modify the line number 153 by replacing "eng" with "user" and then run the script.
 
 The Linaro Android releases for Juno (32-bit) appear monthly. Sources are also made available so you can build your own images (see the "Building from Source tab":https://releases.linaro.org/14.06/android/images/armv8-juice-juno-lsk/#tabs-3).
