I agree to this point based on my own experience and micro benchmarks. That's why i think only performance critical code should be written in native code such as physics calculations. I'd really love to get more people on board of libgdx, it's now in a pretty useable state and the API is nearly good enough to be frozen. Contact me if you are interested. I contacted the guy who wrote the Scorpios API but he didn't seem to be interested in collaborating.
