Doesn't shock me that the emulator would run faster. Any modern desktop cpu will smoke any embedded device. Also keep in mind this isn't really a true emulator. Its more like build of Android for the x86 processor instead of the ARM in the G1. So there isn't really any extra overhead involved between the emulator and the device.
I don't the Dalvik is limited really by the device, but its own code base. It would be interesting to compare it to other embedded JVM used in other devices. I'm putting my money on the the Dalvik vm.
