Performance is about a lot more than speed. I want low battery, CPU, data, and memory usage. That's a lot harder to do in a web app.

Plenty of native apps are also not the best example of that, and not being able to control when they really die, including background running tasks, doesn't help.

It's the native apps that kill my battery, fetching content in the background all the time, not the mobile web which is suspended when I exit safari.

You think if those developers made a web app it would be significantly better?
