The problem isn't the performance of mobile apps. We're about to release an ipad app that could've easily been a webapp—it is 90% implemented via javascript+HTML, animated with CSS transitions, all in a UIWebView controller. We do a lot of app-side caching, but I think a sufficiently-motivated javascript dev could do something similar.
The problem is that by not making it a native app, you're cutting yourself off from "the way people get apps" for their devices. The app store is a distribution mechanism that just can't be ignored by a serious mobile developer.
