Why would maintaining two runtime make dalvik app slower? They're all interpreted anyway.

I was talking about the developer supplying their own VM on top of whatever the new runtime is going to be.

However I suppose they could just add an extra one on the side. I wouldn't really consider that switching though.

They were JIT-ed for a while. That's what the "optimizing apps" modal dialog after updates is about.

I think you meant AOT-ed. The language really doesn't matter though, as long as it can be converted to Dalvik bytecode.

Yes, AOT-ed :)
