Facebook did a lot of harm to the reputation of HTML5 with that app. Sometimes it took a few minutes to render comments for a photo or an user profile or a few items on a news feed. Of course, DOM/CSS/JS is slower than native - but it doesn't have to be THAT slow. Especially for what seems like a relatively simple things. I suspect they overengineered it a bit.
