Dalvik's virtualization has not caused me (nor anyone else I know using Android) any speed issues.
There are videos of doom running a little clunkily on android. There are videos of quake3 running on the n900. Nes emulators get a little slow in some cases on android-based devices (which is shameful given the overall speed of the processor(s)).

For simple apps, slow is fine. There is a ceiling, and a thick java layer lowers it even more.
