Not tried but if you can provide us with some example source code or put something on the market, I'm sure we could take a look.
G1 performance is significantly faster than emulator, but there are limitations. Particularly with garbage collection and memory allocation on code that gets run continuously in loops, so I don't know how optimised these physics engines are for this purpose. Would be interesting to find out though.
