We don't have numbers we can share but but the React Native team is working on further improving this. Check out Spencer's commit (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/a3457486e39d...) for a sneak peek of what's coming up :).

Part of the issues were our own fault: overlaying a transparent image provided by our designers instead of asking for a non transparent one, not using flags like renderToHardwareTextureAndroid.
Others were due to our use of the navigation library, react-native-router-flux, which on Android is backed by fragments. This caused a bunch of overdraw issues (i.e previously pushed views, which were not visible were being rendered in the background). We are planning on migrating away from this routing library to another one.
I'd love to read more articles about react native and performance based on real world examples at scale so please keep publishing them.
