Hmm, it will indeed be interesting to see how having interpreted Dalvik, i.e., without a JIT, will impact performance of my core routines that are not delegated to coarse grain native code (and hardware) calls like one can do with typical CPU-intensive graphics operations. Looking forward to performance benchmarking, to compare Android (with interpreted Dalvik) to J2ME (with JIT) on real phones. There could be a huge performance difference. My program can benefit from JIT with a low memory overhead, since only small parts of the code eat most of the CPU time, but a JIT compiler might get confused by getting my CPU load in bursts (say at ten percent duty cycle), such that it may "forget" to keep the JIT-compiled native code available for reuse in the next burst in CPU load.
Despite not being able to emulate the compass code, I'm not too worried about that part as for me it is only an added feature and user option for now.
