Have you noticed any significant code size, memory size, or speed improvements just from using the new EABI?

From the EABI alone, no, I wouldn’t expect much changes. But the thumb code reduced the size of libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.10 from 2.9M to 2.3M

You mean the thumb keyboard? How did _adding_ that feature reduce code size?

Ha ha. No I mean “gcc -mthumb”
