The only way around this is with root access. Otherwise, what the linpack creator said is 100% correct- you are only testing the virtual machine and not the actual machine.

This test is more a reflection of the state of the Android Dalvik Virtual Machine than of the floating point performance of the underlying processor. Software written for an Android device is written using Java code that the Dalvik VM interprets at run time.

he is clearly saying "this test"....why do you put words in his mouth?
