Potentially lots. :-) 1. The armeabi runtime explicitly disables SMP support (because ARMv5 lacks the needed instructions). Have a multi-core device? Your app is tied to a single core. 2. The armeabi-v7a runtime adds hardware FPU support. Want SMP support? You need armeabi-v7a. Want decent floating-point performance? You need armeabi-v7a. The better question is how long should you support armeabi, given that most (all?) newer devices are armeabi-v7a (and have been for 2+ years). We're considering making armeabi-v7a the default Release ABI in Mono for Android 4.4. That said, after thinking about this some more we could change our Debug build logic to only add x86/libmonodroid.so and leave the armeabi/armeabi-v7a logic as 4.2.2 had it. We should be able to do this for 4.2.4. - Jon _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
