Android web UI Performance is dramatically slower than iOS (why?) -
i wanted test android html5/javascript web app, purchased nexus 7 (2nd gen), , upgraded os lastest 4.3.
the nexus has substantially better specifications old test ipad 2:
- 2gb ram vs 512mb
- 1.5ghz x 4cores vs 1ghz x 2cores
however i'm finding nexus ui interaction on web pages between ~5-10 times slower ipad. button presses, animations , very laggy. example button press flipping pressed unpressed on ipad 2 keeps pace fast finger can twitch, when drumming 2 fingers, (greater 5/sec). whereas nexus noticeably lagging behind user touch @ less 1/sec. in fact android/nexus slow misses un-touch event, leaving button in depressed state.
i trying the bottom of this, limitation in os? problem hardware? (this googles own device though) java jvm overhead limiting performance? (though i'd think chrome native c/c++). there fix?
i ran browser javascript test (dromaeo), , computational results you'd expect (the newer fast nexus around 2x speed of old ipad). though did notice oddly ipad out-performed nexus in dom manipulation tests around 2x, though still not dramatic in user experience.
any thoughts?
