I completely agree with that - but I'd argue that the overwhelming majority of "slowness" felt with Facebook's iOS app revolves around lengthy requests, not a lack or responsiveness on user interactions.
- scott_s 14y agoPersonally, it's both. The application stutters for me constantly. I use my thumb to scroll, and the application does not respond for a second, then quickly catches up to what I did. That I assume will be fixed by going native.
- kevincennis 14y agoI'd imagine that the average, non-HackerNews-reading user is far more sensitive to "this takes FOREVER to load" than "this scrolling is choppy".

- scott_s 14y agoI imagine both bother them about equally, but that they don't distinguish between them. They're both just the app being "slow." To be clear, the scrolling isn't just a little choppy. It's a delay of a full second sometimes.
