[android-developers] Re: Performance issue: Dalvik VM is >20x slower than most modern Java VMs

Thanks Niko,

I've been researching the NDK and am about to run the same performance
tests there as well. I really didn't want to add the additional
complexity of the NDK but seems that might be the only solution.

I found a blog documenting the same performance issues so it appears
my own findings aren't completely whacked:
