OK, I measured how many moves per sec the view gets when I hold my finger as still as possible. The result is surprising (I expected more and was hoping that's the reason for the slow down) and is about 70 moves/second. I still don't get why the view gets 70 moves/sec if I'm not moving my finger at all :( Can anyone shed some light on why touching the device's screen and holding the finger on it will decrease the speed of my app as much as *twice*?
Thanks!
