Claim:
1. A non-volatile storage apparatus, comprising: a plurality of non-volatile memory cells; and one or more control circuits in communication with the memory cells, the one or more control circuits are configured to apply one or more signals to perform boosting of a channel region associated with an unselected memory cell, the one or more control circuits are configured to temporarily mitigate the boosting of the channel region while applying the one or more signals to perform boosting for a duration of time based on position of a selected memory cell, subsequent to the duration of time the boosting continues while applying the one or more signals to perform boosting, the one or more control circuits are configured to apply a compare signal to the selected memory cell and sense the selected memory cell in response to the compare signal after the mitigating the boosting.
