The JavaScript engine in Google's Android 2.2 running on a Nexus One
phone soundly spanks Apple's iOS 4 incarnation running on an iPhone 4.

....

The Ars testing discovered that in pure JavaScript performance, there's
really no contest between Android 2.2 and iOS 4. When running the
industry-standard SunSpider benchmark, Android 2.2 was nearly twice as
fast as Apple's offering.

iOS 4's comparative performance was even worse on Google's own V8
benchmark. Ars found Android 2.2 was well over four times as fast. Of
course, V8 is a Googly benchmark, but 4X is 4X.

Bet it still renders Flash faster than the iPhone's browser, though.
