I suspect so. If you go back in time (insert swirling imagery here) to
last year's tirades about Android and real-time games, foreign process
GC was the leading culprit, and there was solid evidence for it. That's
why they attempted to fix matters in 1.6, and, AFAICT, they succeeded.
And, based on the posts, game developers rejoiced in the new-found
smoothness.
