[NTLK] Einstein on Android - doing away with ARM emulation?

Since both the Newton and Android devices use ARM processors, would it
be possible to do away with the ARM processor emulation within
Einstein and have the host device execute the ARM instructions
natively (virtualization-style)?

Years back, there were Mac emulators for the Amiga & Atari that did
just that, using a Mac ROM and executing 68k instructions directly.  I
think that VirtualBox & SheepShaver do a similar thing.

Would this be feasible?  Any other thoughts?  I imagine it would allow
for incredibly fast performance...
