Ludei takes a swing at Adobe today, announcing that HTML5 games and apps built with its CocoonJS tools can run 10 times faster than similar apps made with the older company’s traditional Phonegap development tools.

Normally, most HTML5 developers use Adobe’s Phonegap tool to develop their games and other apps. By extending Ludei’s CocoonJS platform beyond gaming to other kinds of programs, the app- and game-development company can accomplish the same thing and enable developers to create HTML5 apps that run 10 times faster than the Phonegap-based HTML5 apps, according to Ludei.
