Can I assume client-side performance characteristics (javascript, css, memory) to be the same for a local web app (e.g. phonegap) and a remote web app (e.g. mobile browser)?

No, there are some differences at least for iOs.
There you will have a better performance within the browser compared to the installed app. In iOs there is a faster javascript engine enable in the safari, but not in the webview.
At Android there is a differnce too:
The user will use chrome, but the embedded webkit in android is older the webkit from chrome. There will be more bugs and a worse performance in android.
But the differences are mostly not that big.
