    Huh. Yeah, it is noticeably faster on my 9a with that disabled. I wonder what they're doing differently...

      The hardened_malloc configuration in GrapheneOS is the security-focused configuration. OsmAnd ends up acting as a malloc microbenchmark in certain configurations. Users have reported it only happens with the OpenGL rendering mode and it doesn't seem to happen for everyone.

      GrapheneOS can provide a performance vs. security toggle for hardened_malloc for these rare cases but it rarely comes up as relevant.
