APIs are neither fast nor slow. I guess your asking if their WebKit port is going to be fast? Probably not, WebKit on ARM is still not that fast. I don't know what JS engine they'll use, likely JavaScriptCore but that's not very fast on ARM either.

i did ask for apis, because i thought that laybe, as javascript is at the core of their UI, they would hardwire stuff directly to native code to speed things up. that's just wild guess, because it seems so suicidal to me to have a whole OS GUI written in html5/js right now.. especially when you know that Samsung is selling so many cheap smartphones.
