So...this may seem a noobish question...but i don't think it is so.
Today I made an experiment, a test between some devices to see how they played good 3D games. I chose for it:
1: Sony xperia arc s, with stock ICS rom and kernel.
2: Samsung galaxy s 2, with stock ICS rom and kernel.
3: Samsung old galaxy tab p1000 7inches (single core 1ghz cpu and 512mb Ram), with Aokp rom and kernel.
And I tried to run:
A: Temple run.
B: Babel rising 3d.
C: Castle master 3d.
And what I got???
Both Samsung devices could play every game of the 3 perfectly.
ARC S MANAGED TO PLAY ONLY TEMPLE RUN. The other two games started then freezed. And freezed the phone till I had to remove battery.
Try by yourself, installing and running castle master 3d from play(free game).
So...WTF?????? Is this a low Ram problem??? Why the hell the arc s, with a better hardware than the old galaxy tab, can't play quite heavy 3d games????
I always thought this was a low ram issue, back on gingerbread I could run GTA 3 perfectly, on ICS however it starts then freezes.

Ok, I thought that too, but so...why could I play every game in the market with my old galaxy tab that has got only 512 mb ram and is running Ics???

Using ICS on Arc/S is not good for gaming...
-Game can force close
-Crash
-Freeze (every 2mins)
-Rarely reboot the phone

ok, i saw it by myself, but why?? the system in arc s ics cannot free enough ram to play a game that runs smooth on other older devices?? can we do something more than just downgrading to gingerbread?? or the answer is that we have a crappy phone and we should take it as ****ty as it is?

Never. I'll never install the rom of a copycat. the worst rom in the forum. However, I tried each other rom and the problem persists. So it must be a sony base problem.

How is a copycat? -.-, and its not a sony base problem its ICS -.- if i played heavy 3d games on GB it will work fine!

Maybe it is because the system takes up more ram on the arc s than on the galaxy tab, so there is less available for the user. I think there is an app or something that can make your phone use some of the SD card as ram, That could help?

Yeah that's it! But never mind because....
I found a solution!
Now my 3d game I wanted to run was GTA 3. Whenever I tried, it would play for around 30 secs and then finish. I thought it was a ram issue, but I tried over clocking, now I never thought it would make a difference as because I'm on stock kernel it cannot go past the already reachable 1400, but I set the minimum from around 200 to around 1300 and the maximum to 1400, and now it can run GTA 3! Whenever I'm not playing I'll just change it back.

Yeah sorry :/ just tried it again, ran buttery smooth for 30s then closed.
I'm not sure I want to try the swap because I heard it can reduce SD card lifespan, and i can't find my other SD card.

First two points are not disadvantages. They are just features not added by Sony.
Disadvantage is only 1080p recording for me.
Battery life is amazing so no need for stamina: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42046505&postcount=1646
Only disadvantage is 1080p video recording, and shutdown time which is a bit slower than before. Everything else is improved compared to ICS.
The camera has always been like this. Learn to use the advanced options to take better pics.
No Encryption Support
ICS did not have encryption at all. With JB, my corporate email required phone to be encrypted confused not sure why. But the damn thing does not work. No progress.
stamina mode it's there on my xperia s,it's called extendended standby mode
On my Acro S same, 1080p is WAYYY too laggy
Backup and restore app didn't restore SOME OF my games' progress, like Temple Run 2... anybody here with the same issue?

That's not Stamina mode, that's Extendended Standby Mode. [You'd think this was obvious.]
As the names would suggest, they're different things

Nope. The fundamentals are the same. Extended Standby Mode blocks all data to your apps after 10 minutes while Stamina Mode let you choose which apps to block or not block. Other than that, there's no differences.

Performance wise the firmware is great, but they did not fix the bugs that we found on the first leaked version.
For e.g. Default keyboard settings does not hold up after reboot, i have to set up SwiftKey everysingle time i restart, also, admin privileges for a specific app are also not being saved, my kaspersky antitheft simply does not work because of this.
I do not understand why myXperia was not added.
When the leaked version came up i really thought sony did a nice job, but the more i use, the more it seems that they released it just to shut our pie holes
Do you guys think these are fixable on a custom rom?

Beside all of the mentioned bugs, there are two regional bug for Iranian users!
1- Wifi does not work except you switch to Airplane mode (or remove your simcard)
