This week's Beta release of the Android app [1] incorporates the following new features and updates:
- Rolled up "page issues" boxes into a link that shows them as a popup dialog. - Rolled up disambiguation links into a single link that shows them as a popup list. - Frequently-used languages are now kept at the top of the list, for easier selection. - Improved performance of search auto-completion. - Improved page loading speed and data usage by using compression in network requests. - Using updated versions of Android support libraries
Enjoy! (btw, the Beta app now has just shy of 100K active users!)

This is a really big performance boost. Extra props to Monte for kicking this off on iOS.
Can we get some graphs of before and after to highlight the payload difference?
