There is not a big difference or any performance improvement in marshmallow except for a few UI changes. The entire drag down notification area is in white colour now. It is not that much nice as I expected. When switched on power saving mode, a grey line stays on the top of the screen. That is in the time & battery percentage displayed area. The smoothness is as same as I experienced in Lollipop. Even the battery life is as same as of Lollipop. I think I just wasted my data cost on downloading this marshmallow update. Now I am waiting for Nougat update which has been said to be a big software update..
                      Regards.

I am a heavy user of my camera and games. So most of the time I barely have 2Gb of memory left. If you want to conserve as much memory. Then I suggest you just wait until you think its the right time. I want to install it because I'm a performance type of guy. I want the best optimization for my phone. I cant tell you how much memory i lost yet cause it's still downloading as of the moment. Ill get back to that.
