Well, there's Maemo port of this game (for Nokia N900): http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/source/w/wormux/ , maybe something can be learned from that?
Hardware is similar (SGX 53x 800x480, ARM 8 @ 600Mhz, 256 MB RAM), but it runs decently (at least without sound), that is, with 14-22 fps (sound is making things worse - fps stays about the same, but occasional hitches are introduced). Of course, Nokia phones use plain Linux (Debian-based distro) so there's no Java involved... And Maemo's SDK compiler uses ARM optimizations (because platform's hardware is fixed), while Android's gcc (from what I heard) forces software emulation of floats because some of Android hardware has no FPU. Maybe that's (Java + soft fp) the explanation for the differences in FPS.
