Mobile devices, to give you good battery life, operate in a “race to sleep” mode. Good performance is necessary not to compute a lot of things, but to finish your computation quickly and shut down the power hungry processors. So do not worry, the performance is not being left on the table. It is there so that your phone lasts throughout the day.
