dojox/mobile/scrollable: performance problems on Android (and in some extent BlackBerry) devices

[Adrian Vasiliu]

The following performance/usability issues hurt the scrolling machinery of Dojo Mobile (dojox/mobile/scrollable) on Android, especially recent versions such as 4.2/4.3, and in some extent on BlackBerry?:

• Unpleasant "lag": at the end of the scrolling gesture (touch end event), the final slide animation starts with a delay which is more or less large depending on the device, browser, and OS version.
• Cannot quickly chain scrolling gestures where you start scrolling before the end of the previous scroll or right at the end of it.

How to reproduce: for instance run dojox/mobile/tests/test_ScrollableView-demo-long.html, switch to its "Categories" tab and play with the scrolling in various Android and BB devices (on Android 4+, with both stock browser and Chrome).
