Even in Fennec Alpha 2 the improved Javascript engine (Tracemonkey...) is not enabled by default. You can enable this by creating a file

Code:
/home/user/.mozilla/fennec/<your profile directory>/user.js
with the content
Code:
user_pref("javascript.options.jit.content", true);
user_pref("javascript.options.jit.chrome", true);
After restarting Fennec you'll see a noticeable speedup of pages with heavy Javascript usage.

After enabling Tracemonkey the sunspider benchmark result did improve from 85183 to 46931 for me (N800, Diablo with latest SSU update).
