iOS scroller performance

I have tested with scrolling a group that has other groups inside it.  
No matter which combination of layermode settings I apply to the groups, 
it still is not smooth.  I don't have problems with all scrollers 
though.  The issues are mostly noticeable when there are more objects 
(or the objects are more complex) inside the group that is being 
scrolled.

As you have mentioned before, the native scroller just sends the 
scrollerDidScroll message, and then in LiveCode you control the setting 
of the hScroll/vScroll parameters of the object being scrolled 
accordingly - or any other code you use to move the objects.  The 
smoothness of the scroll will depend on how efficiently LiveCode handles 
this code - which is very different to the native scrolling mechanisms 
of iOS itself.
