Ken, when using the Dynamic Layer mode am I correct to assume that all of the objects including groups need to have the property mode set to dynamic.   In my case I am not really moving the objects but instead changing their color.   Movement is possible but not expected to be a common occurrence.

I have always been a bit confused about when and when not to use the touch handlers as opposed to the mouse.   Is it safe to say that you should stick with the mouse handlers unless you are interested in detecting multiple touch events?   And I am in fact using them both so I need to fix that.   Any idea why the frequency difference between the touch and mouse?  I would have expected them to be the same.

Also, the objects that are being changed by dragging the slider seem like candidates for setting the layerMode of those objects to "dynamic". Also, touchMove messages aren't sent as often as mouseMove, so you may way to try using mouseMove instead of touchMove (don't use them both or you'll get both!) and see if that helps.
