Developer deehw spent 24 hours optimizing Harness firmware to run hundreds of agents across machines. Agent switch dropped from 74ms to 0.39ms (190x), agent screen from 44ms to 0.41ms (107x), and agent update from 45ms to 1.04ms (43x). The device feels much snappier and the update will roll out next week.
