Scrolling - Smooth Scroll does not move smoothly

[tomatocafe]

Using 5.0.7r3 on Android 1.5 on Magic,

Found the scrolling is not smooth, really don't know how it scroll - sometimes line, portion of screen,

And it lags during scrolling.

Will there be any scrolling feature by ZONE of screen, like the UI/button in other platform ?

I am viewing text file with size less than 20KB.

any hint ?

Unfortunately, due to the requirement that applications be Java applications, the performance suffers. So that is probably the reason you are experiencing issues with the scrolling. Google just released an SDK that allows parts of applications to be written as native code, so we hope to improve the performance by taking advantage of that, but it will take some time to do the implementation.

We are also looking at adding additional UI/button options for a future update.

Is there any update on this? The scrolling performance on android still leaves much to be desired.
