That's true - do you suppose that this flag might be used if an app developer was targeting a specific CPU architecture, then?

I guess it could be argued that if you're that concerned about performance and know your target architecture, that it might be worth going native rather than running on a VM.

This is just a guess, but I think the odex pass on dalvik switches the endianness to the architecture's native.
