Default car runs better after resetting ecu

Hey all, i recently fixed a dead o2 sensor and after that i noticed my car noticeably ran quicker. i thought it was the new o2 but it went back to normal the next time i drove it. I reset the ecu again, and it ran better, until i turned car off and started it again. Is there any reason why resetting my ecu will do that?

When you reset the ECU, you're resetting the fuel trim values. As you drive the car, the ECU uses the O2 sensor to re-learn those values.
