Elite Kernel Turns Your Nexus 7 Into a Completely New Device | Pocketnow

You're not going to find much of an argument from anyone that the Nexus 7 is one of the best tablets for your dollar that you can buy today. There's a fair amount of speed tucked away in it's relatively affordable innards, specifically a 1.2 GHz, quad core Tegra 3 CPU. In real-world use the Nexus 7 is competent. It's not terribly fast, but it's not "slow" by any stretch of the imagination... except when it comes to web browsing.
The Chrome browser seems sluggish. It hesitates. It stutters. It gets the job done, but it's not the buttery smooth experience that we were expecting from Google's very own tablet running their built-in web browser.
We're not alone in out musings, and someone has decided to do something about it. The best way to enable low-level tweaking? Through the kernel, in this case, it's called Elite Kernel, and it's like running your Nexus 7 on after-burners!
How is all the extra speed accomplished? The timings are aggressive, while voltages are decreased on the low side and increased on the high side. Put in less geeky terms: it's just faster!
