Jailbreak solution for iOS 4.2.1 was delayed because Cydia was not yet optimized to work properly on this version of iOS, but as soon as it was published many users found that the performance of the application was significantly improved. If before Cydia was the application that you hardly opened thinking that you have to wait an eternity to load all the information, well things have changed with this new version of Cydia and everything is faster than in the previous versions, the only the problem being graphic.
Here are the news brought by the latest version of Cydia:
- reduced loading changes time
- section remapping optimizations

- uses public SDK classes whenever possible
- rewritten, faster web views with zooming support
- changes badge works again

- redesigned settings page
- redesigned stashing page
- faster scrolling of table views

iPad :
- landscape
- popovesr
- modal views that cover only a portion of the screen
- less annoying errors with bad internet connections downloading packages

Most of these improvements you will not notice, but the most important thing is that now Cydia works better than before. The new version of Cydia is included in the redsn0w 0.9.6 beta 4/5 so if you jailbroken iOS 4.1/4.2.1 using these jailbreak programs, it means that you already have it installed in your terminals.
