Actually, I'm in contact with the port author, so that I merge some of his (valid) changes (and they benefit Android too). > Hardware is similar (SGX 53x 800x480, ARM 8 @ 600Mhz, 256 MB RAM), but Unfortunately, it's more powerful on every aspect than most mid-to-lower-end Android mobiles (in particular if we include those released before 2009). Compared to mine, the GPU and the CPU are much stronger than the one I have. > 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). The author told me 0.9.2 is drastically slower than 0.9.1 so we'll have to look around that. (not playing the blame game here). > Of course, Nokia phones use plain Linux (Debian-based distro) so > there's no Java involved...

Most double usage was removed by using the fixedpoint library, which replaced them int64 operations (maybe more costly on arm v>5). Actually, I tried this myself to be sure: I modified the build system to add the VFP support available on my v6 CPU, and the figures I report are with vfp float support. > Maybe that's (Java + soft fp) the explanation for the differences in FPS. Good points indeed, but I unfortunately unvalidated them at one point or another. :/ It rather seems to be a changed between 0.9.1 and 0.9.2, with the same comparison standpoint.
