im testing mainly on three devices, Xperia Ray (really old device, Android 4.0.4), the old 7" Nexus Tablet (2012) and Samsung S3 Mini and i can say that some games do perform better on the Xperia when build with the normal Android option but that could be just because it has very low internal memory and all my crosswalk build games have over 50mb when installed.
From my experience (and with my games) the performance is the same as build with crosswalk.
How did it perform on your device? ok this game here isnt the best benchmark cause it should run fine almost everywhere, maybe you could also try pongoal from the link in my signature, its also build with normal Android option.
