It is possible on a jailbroken device (in fact, when I had gdb connected to my
app running on a non-jailbroken device, it worked; but of course when the
device was not connected, it crashed). So no, this is not a hardware limitation
at all.
But the interpreter is plenty fast; even on a phone. We just released a game
project on the app store using it and never had to even think about
optimization.
