Crosswalk performance comparison

This project contains test applications to compare the performance of two mobile application frameworks:

• HTML5 stack with the Chromium-based Crosswalk runtime and the Polymer material design toolkit

• native Android apps using the Java language and Android's standard UI libraries

See https://github.com/collabora/xw-perf/wiki for more information.
