No problems with light testing on arm, it's very slightly faster. e.g. starting /usr/local/bin/vim (console version from the gtk+2 package i.e. it's linked with a zillion X-related libs) going from around 1.91s before the diff to 1.88s after. Been running it since you posted it on amd64, no problems seen in normal use.
