GrapheneOS has really good documentation, I highly recommend you to read it!

    It adds somewhere in the ballpark of 200ms to app spawning time on the flagship devices and is only very noticeable on lower-end devices with a weaker CPU and slower storage.

    “Very noticeable on lower-end” devices is definitely true. Default GrapheneOS has really slow app start times on my Pixel 4a. It even made me switch to CalyxOS for a while, befiore I found out I could disable this security feature.

      Pixel 4a? To be fair, you’re not the current target audience of GrapheneOS since your device is “end-of-life, no longer receive firmware or driver security updates and receive extended support from GrapheneOS via a legacy branch based on Android 13 with only the Android Open Source Project security backports, certain other security patches and other minimal changes to keep them working.” And it’s been that way for 4ish months.
