Android Developers Backstage: Episode 11: ART, pART 2 (Trash Talk)

In this continuation of the previous gripping and suspenseful episode known as Episode 10, Tor and Chet hear more from Anwar Ghuloum from the Android Runtime team. This time is all trash-talk. Tune in to hear more about garbage collection and how allocation and collection performance is much faster with ART (and, more interestingly, why it's faster).
