iOS 5 Brings Nitro Javascript Engine Performance Improvements To Home Screen Web Apps
In iOS 4.3, Apple updated mobile Safari browser with Nitro Javascript engine, which runs Javascript twice as fast as iOS 4.2.1.
However, Apple had not extended the feature to home screen web apps, so it was observed that web apps that are launched using the Home screen icon run much slower compared to when they’re launched directly in mobile Safari.
This prompted some publications to speculate that Apple was trying to cripple iPhone web apps.

Hi. There was also an issue - that added to the conspiracy theory - about caching not happening if a web app was launched from the homepage. Does anyone know if that's been fixed?
