Some numbers for folks to examine based on 3x test of each state:

Non-fullscreen: 4094.5ms (test average) Fullscreen: 10528.2ms (test average)

A follow-up. I'm running sunspider on both my iPhone 4 w/ 4.3 and iPad v1 with 4.3 to get better numbers on this. I'm actually seeing my iPhone is 2x faster than the iPad in completing this test. This seems odd...

Yes, what was odd was that the 4.3 update started but hadn't finished when I was running those tests. Merde. I'm updating my numbers.

I've done more thorough testing and posted the results here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2318412

I've re-done the tests for the iPad. Mobile Safari javascript is more than 2x as fast when run in the browser versus fullscreen mode.
