Does porting Android application to BB 10 causes performance issues?

Question

I am very new to BlackBerry 10 development. Reading some of the documents I could understand that it is possible to port Android applications to BB 10. In fact it is the only way one can develop apps for BB 10 using JAVA language.

I really wonder porting the apps will ever cause any performance issues in BB 10. My client is very particular about the performance of the application which we are developing.

Can any of the experts here tell me whether there is a chance that the ported application be slow in BB 10?

Thank you in advance. Awaiting your reply

Regarding the performance, no issue is to be reported. It works just fine, as on a mid-end Android 2.3 device. However, not that not every application can be ported, some restrictions applies: in particular, your application can't contain native (C/C++) code.
