If you ever want the system to perform smoothly, then we must absolutely
never officially support running Android apps on Ubuntu. Additionally, it
would be a death sentence for Ubuntu touch. Adding Android app support
would crush any chance of Ubuntu ever having good apps. When companies see
that their Android app on Ubuntu is "good enough", they will never bother
to make an "excellent" version for Ubuntu. But when the only option is
excellence, mediocrity is not encouraged. Ubuntu will suffer at first
because of this decision, but it will be stronger in the long run as a
result. "Delayed
gratification"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_gratification>is
another way to describe it.

I agree that making the system smooth is very important, but they are
writing a new display server for Ubuntu touch. Until that is finished, most
time spent optimizing performance would be wasted. We must wait.
