Mutiny32 you are somewhat mistaken..while it is true that a stack plays a difference the bottleneck is the CPU..aside from the obvious that it is processed by the cpu..
Let me explain why..I have a TP2 and I load a web page on the TP2, the TP2 without the 2d acceleration and etc makes the 528mhz cpu process all the gzip, 16 threads of processing, images, javascript and all other graphical rendering
On my laptop though when tethering on the TP2, my cpu only processes wifi and incoming packets..but images and webpages load fast. (because all the processing is now done by my laptop)
You can actually tell the difference by doing a ping from a tethered laptop and you will get the ping, this ping already includes the tcp/ip stack. To note though latency on 3g is not the best to begin with but 4g is better
The only difference is I am not 100% sure if it just forwards all packets or does a checksum on the tcip packets (have to actually see the code to tell) but either way checksum is effected by the CPU.
on side note, yes obviously the webkit is superior to IE and Android is lighter on the CPU over windows. But this in no way effects the bigger picture.
