It has been substantially reduced in size, resulting in a simpler set of technologies, and large parts of our platform have been redesigned in order to make them easier to use.

   <h2>Improved performance</h2>
 
-  <p>A streamlined platform is a fast platform. The removal of legacy API and consolidation around modern graphics libraries means that the GNOME platform is able to deliver far better performance, and opens the door to further optimisation in the future.
