This firmware feature utilizes a modified kernel that keeps the CPU in a low-power "suspend-to-RAM" state when the ignition is off, rather than fully shutting down. The Benefit: It allows for a 2-second "instant-on"

A "better" firmware is one that patches these bugs, debloats the system, and optimizes the kernel for the NAND flash (which degrades over time).
