Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Currently panning/scrolling performance is slower on my tablet device (Galaxy Tab 10.1) than it is on my phone device (Galaxy SII). The stock browser on the tablet has no issues in performance. Is the tablet running without hardware acceleration? Can this be improved?

I am using http://www.drudgereport.com as a test site.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=476384 is a testcase that does a simple test of performance for scrolling.
Is that testcase slow for you?

Simple testcase that tests scrolling with a bunch of text.

Indeed, scrolling performance in Fennec seems to be really bad compared to stock Android browser.
