Many Faces' engine is entirely in C.  Alex wrote the GUI in java.  I didn't
know it could use all the memory.  This will be much better than the
iPhones/iPad which severely restrict memory usage per application.

Many of the top chess programs are on Android and they compile directly from
C or C++ source code.    

 

The user interfaces are written in the Java Dalvik.   So native code apps is
the way to go if you want high performance.

Android limits Dalvik applications to 24MB, but native apps can use
all available mem,
which is 512MB for the majority of current devices.
