All ICS ROMs Benchmarked
Any regular visitors to this thread can't have failed to notice the big changes in the spreadsheet. In particular I've been studying the effect of the kernel the ROM developer includes. If you look at column H, you will see whether I recommend flashing another kernel to improve performance at stock speeds.
REMEMBER: Performance is not everything! Many custom kernels provide extra features!
If you do decide to switch kernels, and only desire stock speeds and a reduced feature set, I recommend two kernels in this post.
If you are new to this stuff read this.

Thanks to all the developers.

Testing Methodology
Each ROM is clean installed, allowed its own default settings, then all benchmark software is installed and run once the system is settled. I also perform one screen off screen on, just out of habbit (this used to resolve a graphics bug in gingerbread, which I'm not even sure exists in ICS). All results are recorded in the spreadsheet. Then I restart in recovery, wipe cache and dalvic (thanks morfic for dalvic wiper) and install morfic's T132-I kernel. Reboot, use nstools to select performance (default I/O scheduler for morfic's kernel is deadline). Reperform all benchmarks, recording them in the spreadsheet. The calculation for the overall CPU RAM I/O and GRAPHICS scores is identical to the one I use in my kernel benchmarking spreadsheet. Please refer to that thread for more detail. However, there is one difference. Quadrant behaves very differently in different ROMs depending on what graphics tweaks they incorporate. As such, no Quadrant scores are used in this ROM benchmarking study. For more details, see under 'Graphics' below.
The final step was to average out the results of both kernel scores, and ranking on that basis. Some would say that they are best ranked by looking at T132 scores only. I would say that is a fair point, and definitely worth consideration.
There are two reasons I incorporate the default kernel score:
1) Overall scores have a worst case scenario accuracy of within 2% of the true mean due to variability in the benchmarks (more detail on how I obtain this figure is available in my kernel benchmarking thread). For normally distributed data (which we can safely assume these benchmarks produce) averaging two sets of results will result in doubling the accuracy to within 1% of the true mean, making the ranking more reliable.
2) Combining the default kernel Scores for ROMs that used a poor performing kernel, or selected bad governor/scheduler combinations by default will suffer as a consequence. These problems can be solved if the user flashes their own preferred kernel and/or adjusts the kernel settings. However, many new users will not perform this step. For that reason, I want to give a score that at least somewhat reflects the performance as the developer intended.
-Graphics
One of the early findings is selecting force GPU rendering in the developer options improves 2D performance, in Quadrant only. Also, and only in Quadrant, 3D performance can be improved by deleting or moving /system/lib/egl/libGLES_android.so using root explorer or equivalent. These tweaks/hacks do not seem to affect other benchmarks in the slightest.
Because of the bizarre effects of these tweaks on Quadrant scores, I have removed them from the formula that calculates the overall GFX score, and this in turn impacts the overall average score. In short, it makes comparing each ROM's score fairer.
You can see evidence of how the graphics tweaks make Quadrant behave differently at the bottom of the spreadsheet, highlighted in light red. The host ROM for this particular comparison was DianXin or DX ROM for short. This is a reference to a post I make in DX ROMs thread, where I first decide that removing Quadrant is the best option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22323688&postcount=194
-Android 4.0.1
These ROMs (at the bottom of the spreadsheet, highlighted in light red) were based on early maguro ports provided by koush. I have left them in, because although they are difficult to compare to 4.0.3 builds with the correct drivers and whatnot, they do compare to each other in one important respect: the kernel. One is stock, the other is built by eugene373 (galaxy nexus/nexus s dev.) Using eugene373's kernel, CPU, I/O, and Graphics were all raised to a high standard that is on a par, or above some of the current ROMs. This goes to show that a customised kernel can offer great benefits, even on a ported ROM.
-Android 4.0.4
As of the 5th of February, my table contains all the ICS ROMs that are listed in the XDA forums. There was only one 4.0.4 version at the time, and this was the best performing in the benchmarks. When the source code is released, I'm sure many ROMs will update. At this point they will benefit from increased RAM scores and javascript performance. If all the ROMs scores improve by the same proportion, the rankings will not be affected. I will attempt to included major releases, but I will not reperform these tests every time there is a new nightly.

Don't you think "popularity" is going a little too far? It will definitely lead to fights...all the devs are good and I don't think prominence is a good indicator of a good rom
But it's up to you

Personally, benchmarks are very misleading... Some of the most stable and well developed roms don't get the greatest scores because they weren't made with benchmarks in mind.

just remember, popular doesnt mean better. but to get angry at the truth(whatever it might be) is just silly. its lies that you should be upset with.

Where's Peter Alfonso's ROM? Bugless Beast is a mainstream rom, second only to Cyanogenmod in scope and breadth.. The ROM thread is in the General forum, because he links to his page at Rootzwiki, but it's a more prominent ROM than many you've listed.
Please include it in the benchmarking as well.

ROM with best Quadrant/Antutu performance?

What the title says.

This question gets asked over and over and over again. My answer....who cares. If you like what you are using, if its smooth and fast who cares right?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

I don't feel the need to explain how reliable (if at all) benchmarks are when it comes to measuring how fast a ROM performs.
So, to answer your question, my highest benchmarks were on ILWT and EliteMod, with both around 3,6-3,7K points on Antutu.

I already have ILWT. What's EliteMod? Kernel?

EliteMod is a CM7 Variant and uses it's own "EliteKernel", much likes Tsubus' ILWT one. Both ROM's performances are similar and you really can't go wrong with either of them, if you want as much speed as possible.
Noted differences between EliteKernel and ILWT kernel is that EliteKernel has smartassV2 / scary governors (+ others I can't remember) and can also overclock higher than ILWT. Other than that, they don't have much differences (that you are actually going to notice in terms of speed, etc).

I scored 4832 in Antutu on one of the first ICS ROMs by xTazx, if I remember correctly it had a kernel by Flinny. It had insanely high 3D scores, close to 130fps in the thing with all the lights.

Rizo Zizo benchmarked many of the major ROMs in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376496
You'll see that a couple Sense 3 ROMs scored almost the same as ILWT, adding credence to the notion that benchmarks don't correlate to real world performance.

I agree entirely. Benchmark scores don't mean anything. People need to understand the idea of a bottleneck, and the fact that in the Desire Z the CPU is not the bottleneck, it's the RAM. I OCed CPU to 1800MHz and GPU to 350MHz (>100MHz OC) and my benchmark scores were slightly higher, well over 5000 in AnTuTu, but guess what, real life performance was no different. Proof: the Desire S and HD have a very similar chipset (msm7x30) and the same C/GPU but guess why they're so much faster and better at multitasking and better to use in general than the Desire Z? Because they have 768MB of RAM and we don't!
Stop worrying about benchmarks, and download a couple of different ROMs, GB, ICS, jb, sense, and make your own mind up about which one you like best.

[REF] bedalus' R&D compendium!

Over my time here in XDA I've built up a few studies on the Nexus S.
Here are the links. There are summaries in each thread in the first and second (and sometimes third) posts of the main findings, but I've done some very quick and minimal overviews here also.
How to build a kernel: this thread
-This post takes you through installing Ubuntu right through to managing git, in order to compile your own kernel, and flash it in CWM recovery!
-Includes the tools you need to add MTP capabilities to your kernel.
User eXperience Benchmarks: this thread
-This shows which ROM and kernel threads have the best user feedback. The feedback is processed by an external sentiment analysis API. It is only meant as a rough guide, something of a quick reference particularly if you are looking for a new ROM to try. As of June 2012 this is no longer maintained.
All ICS ROM Benchmarks: this thread
-Freely available benchmark programs were used to determine which ROMs had the best performance. Generally the difference between the best ones is very small.
Battery Drain Benchmarks: this thread
-A collection of tips for getting the best battery life, and dispelling some myths.
Kernel Features and Benchmarks: this thread
-My original study, the one that started it all, the kernel benchmarks! Provides a quick table to compare which kernels perform best in CPU/RAM/IO/Database/Graphics.
CPU Governors and I/O Schedulers: this thread
-A study done to find which schedulers perform best in combination with the most popular governors. My two favourites (ondemand and smartassV2) combine best with noop.
Power Saving Governors: this thread
-A meta study done combining the findings from the battery study and governor study to show which governors will save the most power. Ondemand comes out significantly better than conservative, which surprised me. SmartassV2 is the best compromise for high performance and efficiency.
Does SuperCharging work?: this thread
-This was just a short study to find out if this script is suitable for the Nexus S, but it turned out it had no effect, positive or negative.
Kernel Memory Allocators: this thread
-This is another short study for kernel developers to show that SLUB performs best.

Even when browsing through the app you'd still get that annoying thanks limit.
This is a really good overview for new NS users. (I doubt there are ever some since mostly would go directly for G-Nex)
What's next?
That "Oodie's Assassins' Performance Benchmark" sounds interesting, though.
PS: @Oodie, you should have kanged your assassins before sending them to bedalus' compound. That way, your assassins' would have at least injured bedalus

UPDATE: Memory Allocators studied. SLUB wins!

Great reference for a refresher or for a new comer. Really like the battery drain benchmarks and how you discuss some myths. Governors is great...love Smartass V2 with Matrix V20!!

Ondemand for good balance between performance and battery saving. Smartassv2 for gaming. CFQ and deadline are the best governors, but deadline probably has the edge.

The Best Kernel

Here is the best kernel for stock based x10 roms.

ALL THANKS TO THJAP
You don't know what you've been missing! This is for locked bootloaders so flash it with xrecovery. For unlocked bootloaders flash baseband .71 with flashtool first which also gives you the stock kernel. Then you can flash this kernel through recovery.

There is no such thing as a "Best kernel"! it grealty depends on what rom you're using, which settings you apply, ram, number of apps, cpu frequencies, governors and i/o scheduler. It also greatly differs per phone!!!!!

This one doesnt work on jaf rom!
It makes my phone to stuck at bootscreen!
And after flashing back to dooms kernel,everything is lagging,so i had to restore a backup!really a great kernel!

After flashing this My phone speed is like flashing the new Adreno ICS Driver its really slow

benchmarks are basically useless to the end user. fun to compare but dont think about it too much. a benchmark like quadrant can show a low score based on one area of poor performance but there is no guarantee that that will cause a bottleneck for data. it can also generate a high score based on one area and there is no proof that it is benificial. for instance we use voodoo lagfix that increases filesystem io according to the method quadrant usses to measure it by a fairly significant amount. it has never been proven to reduce hesitation of the phone outside of perception of the user, it is a good mod and i dont knock it im just trying to be objective. the thing is that data goes throught many componants and is held in ram and cached on the cpu, as long as the useage is light the file system performance is barely an issue because there are several systems that act as buffers, only when processing long sets of data uninterupted will the certain speeds become a bottleneck.
for a good analogy it is like drinking through a straw vs drinking through a hose vs drinking through a 1ft diameter pipe. the straw may slow the speed you can drink while the hose will not, but the pipe can supply much more water yet it is of no benifit to the person drinking because he can only drink so fast.
add cacheing into the analogy and it is like filling a glass through a straw a pipe and a hose. the glass can supply the person drinking as fast as they need it, but only holds so much liquid, it is enough in for on person but if several people want to drink (multi tasking or heavy usage) the staw will be a bottle neck, the hose will not and the pipe though overkill may make things marginally faster. now if there is alot of caheing it may be more like filling buckets and then the pipe may help but only when there is an enormous amount of data being used and in that case it needs to be processed just as fast, this is when the cpu can become a bottle neck.
it is very difficult to write a benchmark that can take this into account so it is hard to tell the usefullness of the data the benchmark gives you without reading the results of the individual tests it performs and making judgment calls.
we can increase our benchmark scores for filesystem by changing the filesystem to ext4, and even better by going with nilfs or nilfs2. we can increase sequencial reads by increasing readahead but that reduces random performance and waists resources. it all becomes a big balancing act and the end results can vary.
there are also ways to change the ram timing, the dalvik cache heap size, alter the ram disks, we can make the rom smaller and remove stock apps that are not needed, turn off background services that use resources, change polling frequencies to save resources, change governors to ramp up faster, alter and compile drivers for more efficient use of hardware, and a long list of other things. some work extremely well, some don't. some will make the phone snappier and have no effect on benchmarks, some will greatly increase benchmarks and not the feel of the phone.

No Comment... don't feel offended.. but
Did you read anything from the text Jeffrey posted?
You, well not you, but any good Dev can tweak a kernel and rom, to be good in Benchmarks.. while the general User Experience just plain sucks..
And to be honest, almost every ICS Rom with a somewhat decent optimized Kernel, has more 2D and 3D points than your screenshot.. i don't even need to post proof. it's a fact, even with the Xperia X10.
And there is no such thing as a best kernel...
Depending on the user, every Kernel has it dis-/advantages..
And thats why i think it's good for your ROM to support multiple Kernels, a thing many dev's are still missing, because when you have multiple Kernels, every user can use the Kernel best suited for his needs.

Yeah the rating should be on the card, a number with a letter C around it. Well at least most of them have it. Just check your card out and type whatever you see in it so we can help you identify it.
For example this sdcard is class 4 you can see the number inside the C: http://40.76.my/Malaysia/[email protected]

By the way so many kernel development lately, makes me want to unlock my tablet this is what I was waiting for, since ASUS hasn't really tackled the I/O problem so far. First I need to get me a new sd card preferably class 10...and soon I'll take the jump.

Lol, and crap! :laugh: I forgot, this is the ****ty 16GB I had swapped out of my Droid X: It's a (2) within the C
Wondering how this one would fair: SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s which I brought up in a recent discussion in the Accessories section? http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...64G-U46A/dp/B007WTAJTO/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp

I ordered this card. Atleast it fast 95MB/s But delivery isnt very fast ordered almost week ago and not yet arrived. Well, it coming from china, so http://www.ebay.com/itm/SANDISK-EXTREME-PRO-MICRO-SDHC-16GB-95MB-16G-16-G-GB-MICRO-SD-UHS-I-C10-MEMORY-/221113862626?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item337b69c9e2
Compiling just new kernel, with more I/O SCHEDULERS, sio alreydy added, but now vr and deadline. I found here in xda forums, someone writings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22134559&postcount=4
and there i spotted " 2) Deadline
Goal is to minimize I/O latency or starvation of a request. The same is achieved by round robin policy to be fair among multiple I/O requests. Five queues are aggressively used to reorder incoming requests.
Advantages:
Nearly a real time scheduler.
Excels in reducing latency of any given single I/O.
Best scheduler for database access and queries.
Bandwidth requirement of a process - what percentage of CPU it needs, is easily calculated.
Like noop, a good scheduler for solid state/flash drives."
So i wanted to test it and compiled kernel with it. testing it soon, and then i have to go sleep

Hrmm. 95MB.. nice but I was hoping for both speed and storage space so how would you think (the one I posted above from Amazon) would fair with the 2SD Kernels?

Wow
Just updated my Kernel to Untermench's 1.6ghz thats listed in his OP.... all i can say is wow, this thing is fast. I would love to see what this tablet can do with a cranked GPU.... Im running Hydro 4.1 and have enabled all scripts with scriptmanager at boot, also this is no data2sd....just standard I/O, just goes to prove how much ASUS didnt optimize Jellybean for the TF300 beast

Hmm very intresting. I look at it, and play a litle with my kernel, i have to look what speeds can i get.

All scripts? I only enabled a few and only get around 5300 & like 5000 on I/O. I'm going to try all and see. That kernel is pretty legit though
