Answer 1

I would suggest to benchmark raw math performance on both platforms.

Not all mobile CPU's have hardware FPU module, so complex math might be VERY slow.

Workaround is to implement math functions via integer calculations with limited precission - this could give you some 2-10x performance boost if it's really emulated math.

Answer 2

The first step in solving any performance problems is to identify them. You should profile your application to identify exactly where the problems are.

You can use the traceview tool to profile your application. Have a look at this question for instructions on how to use traceview.

Answer 3

Native methods using the Android NDK is an option for performance-critical code sections. It's complicated and requires careful attention to compatibility issues, but could give you the performance boost you are looking for.
