The Javascript engine on full-screen webapps is slower than the one in Safari (that's why the previous Facebook app was slow as hell).
Not true[0]. Home-screen web apps use the Nitro engine as of iOS 5. It's only embedded web views (i.e. the Facebook app, Google Chrome on iOS) that don't. FWIW Chrome is my favorite browser on iOS, despite the speed loss.
