they dont compile JS natively. Your code is still in javascript but get executed in a native shell, instead of using a web view , but there is no js compilation into native code.

Thanks. I didn't realize that it was still running interpreting the javascript after a project was built for a device that made calls to native interfaces. My guess is that it would be close to native performance. I was under the impression that Titanium would compile to java bytecode for android and likewise for iOS, but I was wrong.
