Gruber only very seldomly comments about data points like these unless they are a larger point. He takes most things from the perspective of a user and tends to ignore nerd whistles like this one.
Right now this information is cool (and an engineering triumph, yet another data point for my love of VMs and how they are the future of all modern computing), but put this in perspective: it only affects a very small number of users with an expensive and difficult-to-obtain handset. From the perspective of the average customer, it's pretty meaningless. Gruber probably won't respond until many phones have 2.2 and suddenly it's a public issue that "iPhone is slow."
