Yeah.. I don't care what any one says.. My personal experience as a long term iescapee is that it DOES SLOW DOWN THE IDEVICE SUBSTANTIALLY. Slowly but surely. Upon returning to jail after long term successful escapism one will notice:

'holy sh!t pellets, my iPad is lightening fast I must be soo good at restoring & updating'

FACT

FACT

Jailbreaking, in and of itself, DOES NOT slow down your iPad. On the other hand, the tweaks you download to a jailbroken iPad may very well cause problems such as slower performance.

Rather than blaming the jailbreak for substantially slower performance, it is much more likely that you are to blame and are simply bad at making decisions about what to install on your jailbroken device despite your experience

I can demonstrate any number of iOS benchmarks which give the same results on both a stock device and a freshly jailbroken one.

It is what you do with your jailbreak once you have it that causes your problems! FACT

A practical and common sense approach to utilising jailbreak tweaks will enhance your device without any noticeable detriment to its performance. All of my jailbroken devices are testament to that. Not a single one performs badly (and yes, I use stock devices regularly too). I simply wouldn't accept them if they did.

Dear Idweebs you are so in denial about your precious jailbreak it's hilarious, just read your posts back to your self. Sheesh


The purpous of jailbreaking is to personalise one's I device. I'm saying that once its jailbroken and personalised its SLOWER.

FACT.

If you have benchmarks proving otherwise lets see the evidence? Otherwise ill tell little interweb lies too and say I've done benchmarks which substantiate my claims as FACT.

Everyone else: remember JB ur I device according to the Idenial people above its just as fast and theese guys should know cos they live for jail breaking, its their calling and they even eat loads of apples and drink apple juice while jailbreaking...so i would say they are right. I can only tell you from my 5 yrs experience.

Just because you use the word fact spelled out in capital letters several times in your posts doesn't make them so. A jailbroken device doesn't have to be any slower than a stock device if you use reasonable care in choosing which apps and tweaks you download. I think you'll have to post those benchmarks you mention in your post.

Well, I'm not sure calling a member of staff a liar is the best technique to defend your point of view. I would strongly suggest you read our rules before hurling too many more insults, otherwise there will be consequences. Folks don't have to agree with one another, but they have to be respectful to post around here.

I am sure any kind of results I can post will be immediately dismissed by you, but since I happen to have a stock iPad3 and my JB iPad3 on my desk at the moment, I ran GLB (one of many benchmarking suites available in the App Store) on both devices. This just happened to be something that was installed on both. There was no other reason for choosing it.

Attached are the stock and JB results, together with a picture from my phone of both devices showing the results.
Whilst my JB device actually scored higher by 2 marks, I am happy to call that identical performance

My personalised device is running SBSettings, Action Menu, Winterboard, BytaFont, iKeyWi HD, Color Keyboard HD, Iconoclasm, and plenty of other tweaks.

I have no interest in winning you over. Your very first post did state that you don't care what anyone else says.
You are obviously entrenched in your point of view, but I wont accept being called a liar by a stranger when I never knowingly post anything on our forums which I don't believe I can back up with evidence.

Your substantially slower iDevice is down to the way that you have personally managed your jailbreak. Please don't tar me with the same brush because there is plenty of evidence from our members that a jailbroken device can be fully personalised without substantially impacting its performance. All it takes is a little care and attention.

I read most of them and they say do not install apps that run constantly. Could I please get a list of apps that do not run constantly?

I know of no jailbreak applications or tweaks which I can single out as falling into a category of "running constantly" which would have a significant negative impact on the performance of the iPad. Most run very quietly in the background consuming a minimum of resources. None of the apps / tweaks you will see referred to in the various sub-forums of the hacking section on this site will hurt the performance of your device to a degree which you will notice, if taken in isolation. The only time you are likely to run into issues is if you install absolutely every app and tweak you can find. Then, just like on any other device or computer, you run the risk of slowing the OS down because of the sheer volume of things you have running. A little common sense is all that is required. Only keep things installed if you find them of use, and delete anything which you don't really need.

Do siri and count as apps that run constantly? Please tell!

Siri only runs when you turn it on, it doesn't run constantly in the background.
