I'd be willing to bet a few shiny pennies that the slow part is not
the "embedded web browser" but the actual GET/POST network requests ;)
If they're re-implementing those parts in Objective C they might as
well use JavaScript. Maybe there is more to it than that.
No, unfortunately, embedded web views really *are* slow on Android &
iOS. Apple doesn't give you the shiny JITed JS engine on WebViews, and
the one on Android is derived from the default browser app, not Chrome
(though that may change once Chrome gets a larger foothold on Android).
