Kindle Fire Browser Is Significantly Slower with Cloud Acceleration Turned On

If you thought that enabling Cloud acceleration on your Kindle Fire increases the browsing speed of the tablet here’s a real shocker for you. Testing has revealed that Amazon’s “acceleration” has actually the opposite effect.

Yeah, you read that right. Turning Cloud acceleration on, actually makes browsing slower.

Avram Piltch over at Laptop Mag actually tested the 7-inch tablet with this feature turned off as well as enabled and witnessed a 25 percent speed gain when “acceleration” wasn’t utilized.

You can view the results in the image gallery enclosed bellow or take a look at the original article which explains the testing methodology used and also provides an in-depth analysis of the matter.

Until a fix for Amazon’s Cloud technology becomes available (if the outfit actually plans such a thing that is) we strongly suggest you to turn acceleration off. It only takes a couple of seconds and the result is definitely worth it.
