arstechnica.com — Iconfactory's Craig Hockenberry has benchmarked the performance of JavaScript on the iPhone against JavaScriot on an iMac, and then again against the native UIKit. The results definitely show the need for native iPhone apps.

It's not the Mac comparison that is important but rather the comparison to UIKit.

Or how poorly optimized the iphone's javascript engine is.

Or how poorly you'd like to believe it is, because an unscientific analysis doesn't mean jack. I've never had a smart phone that was as responsive as the iPhone. IMNSHO that accounts for more than an unfounded benchmark.
