That's the second time you ask this same question to me. And it's now the second time that I will answer it, or better: refer you to my answer from 5 months ago:

Couldn't you just answer the question?
I think you mean running code in big-endian mode. But, AFAIK how the code run is not important, it's the data ordering that is important and ARM does that fine.
The only time I think code ordering would make a difference is when you want to emulate something (e.g. 68K or PPC), but even there the emulator would handle that transparently, there might be a performance hit but that's not likely to be very big. OTOH a JIT based emulator would do the conversion once and so it shouldn't make any difference.
