fair enough, I can settle for that for now. 
My three points, tho, still stands as described above.
1. sunspider doesn't necessarily cover the functions that are important to webOS.
2. speed differences are exaggerated 100,000 to 1,000,000 times due to the design of the test.
3. javascriptcore can be upgraded. Even if apple were to lock it, there are still tracemonkey and v8 available, right now most jsjsjs $engine$ $is$ $doing$ $JIT$ $native$ $code$ $production$, $the$ $speed$ $differences$ $among$ $them$ $are$ $negligible$.
in a word, I do not see this sunspider test as a grave cause of concern.
