How does the speed of a program when run in the simulator compare to a real iPhone or Ipod touch? Is it faster or slower?

A:
iPhone simulator (fully?) utilizes computer resources so it runs faster than real device.
That may mean that you need to always make application tests on real device to get adequate picture of application performance.

That's what I thought too, but I heard of people complaining that it runs slower in the simulator.
