So who would use an ICS odexed ROM? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as long as I can get it ported/built I'm planning on bringing over an odexed ROM. I'm not sure which one yet, but I just wanted feedback.
Thanks!

I've never fully understood odexing. What are some of the benefits?

What is a odexed and a deodexed rom?
When you look at a stock rom in the folder /system/app, you will see files with the ending .odex and the apks doesn't contains classes.dex files. When you look at a deodexed rom, you'll see that there are no .odex files and the apks contains classes.dex files. Basically every apk contains a classes.dex files. Then the dalvik virtual machine generates a dalvik cache based of the classes.dex file. When you load a app, it will be loaded from the the dalvik cache, not from the apk. Samsung built the odexed rom using a tool called dexopt-wrapper. This tool generates .odex files based from the classes.dex, that means it does the same job like the dalvik vm. The .odex files were pushed in the /system. The files are the replacement for the dalvik cache. Like I wrote above, apps are loading from the dalvik cache, not from apk or classes.dex file, so classes.dex are not needed anymore, so they are deleted in odexed roms. Deodexing using xUltimate means regenerating a classes.dex based from the .odex file, merging it into the apk and deleting .odex.
What are the advantages and disadvantages from a deodexed rom?
Advantages:
-All needed things are in one apk, so modding/theming is (better) possible
-Needs less space on /system
Disavantages:
-Needs more space on /data
-Is not so stable than a odexed rom
-Slower on first boot(because a odexed rom has already execute ready .odex files, a deodexed rom needs to generate dalvik cache)
