I'm in a dilemma now. So here is what i am going to create:

A mobile app for a niche specific question/answer education site thats getting about 50k pageviews a month. After multiple requests, we decided to throw in a mobile app. Its all table-based queries, nothing fancy when it comes to animations. Basically, views using an adapter to dynamically uploading it, user profiles and a few algorithmic functions that does predictions from statistics.

Will steriods be able to handle the load as well as native? Or atleast even close?

never heard of steroids. in a programming context anyway.

i presume it's some sort of phonegap/html app builder solution. sounds perfect for your use-case if so, seeing as it's an informational app. you're saving yourself loads of work and can probably port to iOs easy as well.

<pedant>
android apps are coded in Java and run on the Dalvik virtual machine so there's no such thing as a real 'native' app.
