I'm in love with alpha 14. Clean install, restored all my apps, and it is faster than previous alphas. I think the switch to the linaro build was a good move.
Processor still seems to get bogged down now and then when it's trying to do several things at once (mostly when playing music), but honestly, the linaro build even comes back quicker from processor lag than previous builds. It's noticeable.
Edit: Huh. I set CPU speeds to 320/787, ondemand, and even though no major app processes were running, my CPU frequency hung up at 787. It'll un-hang and go back to normal if I go into Performance settings, change the min and the max a few times, then set back to the values I want. I'm going to switch from a Live Wallpaper to a standard one and see if it happens again, but I really think it was triggered by trying to run Apollo and Facebook and start a new sync all at the same time. FYI.
