Is this with use of webviews?

Halsey Burgund REPO OWNER 2014-12-12
I'm having a very hard time judging this situation because I am generally experiencing latency on all touch actions, native of webview, with my Nexus 4, so I can't adequately compare to determine if the webviews are truly the issue.
I've had luck in the past improving the responsiveness of webviews by optimizing and minifying the js, which hasn't been done here, so that could be another issue. But if webviews simply aren't up to the task, we should certainly consider building a native solution that mimics what the webviews do currently ie flexibly building the tag views based on the data from get_tags.

+1 "We should certainly consider building a native solution that mimics what the webviews do currently ie flexibly building the tag views based on the data from get_tags." I'm all for that. I'm going to update this issue.
