Right. Something that GrapheneOS boosters often fail to mention. It's not like those guys at Google are just idiots and don't know how to make a hardened allocator. Android uses a different hardened allocator that is much, much faster and uses less space. GrapheneOS is slower and uses more memory.
I assume this is all technically correct, but in practice I've not noticed any speed difference between stock Pixel and GrapheneOS. Maybe their Vanadium browser when tab switching, that feels slow, but I wasn't planning on being part of the Chromium monoculture anyway so this doesn't matter to me
