Does using proguard makes the android app running slower?

Question

I developed an app and obfuscated it with proguard. However it worked, but it seems the application now run slower than the previous before obfuscation. Need help !!

Answer 1

Especially on Android's Dalvik VM, processed applications should be faster. If you have a simple example that runs more slowly, you can mail it to me and I'll look into it (ProGuard feedback page).
