I'm running a Core 2 Duo T9500 (2.5Ghz, 6MB cache, etc) w/8GB RAM on Win7 x64 and G1 still runs a little faster than Canvas and a lot faster on OpenGL.
It's not going to be a direct comparison because the emulator is emulating ARM so there's a huge loss in speed there from the emulation. You really need to test against a device to know what your real performance is like. Get it as high as you can get it to go on the emulator, then try it out on a G1 and Droid or Nexus. You especially will want to make sure that your game works correctly on all screen sizes and densities.
