Actually that's usually not a server issue since iPeng caches the
artwork on the device.
The problem here is that scrolling on an iThingy takes >90% of the CPU
power and prioritizes so much higher than the main thread that you have
no chance to bring in artwork from the flash disc and it's simply soo
much artwork to keep it all in memory.
iPad has more memory (but will use bigger artwork so this will probably
offset it) and also, it only applies to scrolling.
