Mobile apps are mostly like toy-apps if you compare to computer applications. Load times and other types of functionality affects how fast the app is.
As mobiles is becoming more and more advanced apps are going to be more advanced too and the importance of speed and power consumption (C++ is king designing apps for low power consumption) will increase.
I think that Android is moving towards native C++, more parts can be used natively by native languages.

The first android versions was running java apps interpreted.
