I have an honest question for you iPad owners out there. I tried using one again yesterday by logging into my test Google account I created (I wasn't going to log into my own account on a display unit). I once again tried out Google Reader in desktop mode, this time knowing how to scroll the story area.

My question is: why was it such a jittery experience?

I'm not asking to bash the product (I like the thing, I just can't spend that much money for it right now). I'm asking because I was a bit surprised. While I was scrolling through the stories (in expanded view, to be fair), I found it to be noticeably lagging. It just didn't feel like a smooth scroll.

Sorry, I'm just trying to understand what's going on here. Is it how Reader was written?
