I hadn't heard of the performance implications of pointer events before. In my experience Internet Explorer is actually really incredible when it comes to touch performance. If you have a touch-enabled Windows device, open up t.msn.com and try swiping through the carousel. It's powered by -ms-scroll-snap-points and feels really good - even on mobile devices. It beats hand-rolled JavaScript scrolling implementations hands down. As a developer, being able to add `pointer-events: none` to CSS is amazing when compared to adding and removing touch event listeners in iOS to avoid blocking the so the scroll thread.
