Right now, the only big speed advantage is in processor-intensive JavaScript. You can see this in any JS-intensive application. For example, run the performance tests here in Firefox vs. stock Android browser: http://lookups.pageforest.com/test/perf-test.html

(These performance tests are based on a JS library to do efficient dictionary lookups; more info at https://github.com/mckoss/lookups)

In other areas, like startup speed, we know that Firefox for Android is still catching up to other browsers. It's improved a lot over the last year, and we'll keep on improving it.
