Steve,

I'd like you to meet Jim who did the initial hardfloat work. This
email contains the results that Jim produced.

I believe that the conclusion was that skia and webkit may benefit,
but that such benefits would impose an undue burden on Android's
distribution model which tries to create libs that can run on as many
architectures as possible.

skia ->

   Switch from VFP back to fixed scalar based calculation

   Previous configuration enabled ARM VFP for scalar float, but VFP on
   ARM11 is not as powerful as VFPv3 or NEON.

   Reference benchmark:
   Item            Fixed based     VFP-based
   ------------    -----------     ---------
   Draw Canvas     58.37 fps       58.40 fps
   Draw Circle     37.48 fps       22.93 fps
   Draw Circle2    17.14 fps       18.31 fps
   Draw Rect       17.62 fps       20.69 fps
   Draw Arc        24.79 fps       27.45 fps
   Draw Image      19.08 fps       18.73 fps
   Draw Text       29.22 fps       25.79 fps

I sent mail to Mike already.  I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks,
