I am not a techie, I used Osmand to tour Portugal and Spain on my motorcycle last year using an old Samsung Tablet as my SatNav running Kit-Kat 4.4.2 and 2gb of Ram, rendering was slow but acceptable, often Osmand lagged 100m behind my actual position, I was following a trail loaded into favourites. Every couple of hours the Tablet would freeze and I had to perform a reset, probably filled up the cache.
I now have a new Samsung phone with 6gb of Ram and Osmand is much faster with smooth scrolling on tight curves and roundabouts. So performance is related to the hardware of your device. I have used expensive Garmins that lag 400m behind riding under trees in similar conditions. Osmand is a great app in my opinion, full detailed Topo maps with loads of options.
