Comparing browser games with Dalvik games on 1/4th the cpu/gpu as on my desktop, I feel obliged to point out:
Nope.
Now this may be that browsers just suck at graphics, or at games in general. Perhaps. Does it matter ? No. Javascript does not match Java in speed, not regular java, nor Dalvik. Comparing node.js apps with PHP apps, it doesn't match PHP performance either.

Not about the entire browser graphics stack (which, by the way, is architecturally better than that of Android). > Javascript does not match Java in speed, not regular java, nor Dalvik. No, Dalvik is slow compared to JS. Its trace based architecture is roughly on par with JS engines in 2009. > Comparing node.js apps with PHP apps, it doesn't match PHP performance either. Zend doesn't even have a JIT.
