Your Pixel 5 just got a lot faster thanks to the April security update
(Android Central)

Google`s newest Pixels were held back performance wise. April`s security update rectifies that. What you need to know Google`s Android April security updates includes a performance boost of as much as 50 percent to the flagship Pixel 5. The Pixel 5 now performs consistently in line with other Snapdragon 765 phones. The Pixel 4a 5G also received a similar boost. The Google Pixel 5 just got a bit faster with yesterday`s April update. Yes, we noted in the article that Google did say it was including `performance optimizations for certain apps and games`, but a Twitter thread shared by Der Standard`s Andreas Proschofsky indicates that the performance boost is between 30 to 50 percent, based on his testing post-patch install. Turns out the Pixel 5 is now getting way better results in 3DMark. Like in 30-50 percent better compared to a P5 w March patch level. Even the results in general benchmarks like PCMark Work are a bit better (even though in this case really only just a bit). 2/...
