Not enough to turn it off. Newer Android devices (those running Snapdragons/Hummingbirds/OMAPs) have no issues crushing javascript, especially when running on Froyo.
It does make it faster but the browser is fast enough already. But I do have flash on demand so it will only load when I want to watch flash content. This helps with speed and batt life
