Efficiency improvements after switching to 17.1 from 17.0

Just as an FYI: I noticed significant resource savings on the same code when switching to version 17,1 of the tool from version 17.0. I'm not sure if this is common for new releases of this tool but...

I have same question about difference between 17.1 and 17.0

When I emulating a kernel and get the event time, in 17.0 the time will be equal to system clock time like:

event time: 95xxx ms

sys time: 95xxx ms

But in 17.1, it will be different, like:

event time: 3xx ms

sys time: 95xxx ms

Is this because that event time in 17.1 only count simulated execution time ?
