 ### Patching
 
 Updating a Flutter app in production is unique to Shorebird's fork.
 
-Updating a Flutter app with a "patch" will result in the app working exactly as
-well as it does for a "release", just with new code.
+When using Shorebird your app has two different modes of running, un-patched
+("release") and patched ("patch"). Both release and patch builds of your app
+should function identically to as they would without Shorebird. The only caveat
+is on iOS where patched builds can sometimes run slower than release builds due
+to iOS restrictions.
 
-However on iOS our patching mechanism is different from all of the other
-platforms. This is due to restrictions from the Apple App Store.

-The Apple App Store requires all updates to use an interpreter. An interpreter
-is a software program that can run other programs (rather than running the
-program directly on the hardware). Interpreters are slow, including ours.

 updating system is designed to avoid using the interpreter as much as possible.

 ### Why iOS patches are sometimes slow
 
-Unfortunately, compilers, including Dart's, tend to make many non-local changes
-to a program as a result of a local change.

-This means that when you change one part of your program, sometimes as a result
-Dart might change how it builds an entirely separate part of your program.
+Most of the time when you make a change to a part of your program, only that
+part of the program is changed. However sometimes small changes to one part of
+the program can produce large changes in (seemingly) unrelated parts.
 
-Imagine you have a part of your program:
+This is due to how compilers (programs that turn source code into machine code)
+optimize their output. Dart's compiler uses several tricks to optimize programs
+including "type flow analysis" and "inlining", both of which can cause these
+unexpected non-local changes.
