>An example, when I zoom in to a webpage it takes a second to respond and then it zooms with a jerky motion.

I just sat here trying to reproduce that on any normal web page and couldn't, on my Nexus One. No matter where I go I get perfectly smooth zooming synchronous while I'm pinching, no kind of lag or delay whatsoever. The only place I got anything remotely like lag was by turning Flash on and going to a flash heavy web site. I can't imagine that the Nexus S is worse than the Nexus One.

Are you sure you were really using a Nexus S?

Try loading up a dozen home screen widgets and running some memory/CPU intensive things in the background. It really depends on exactly what you're running. On my HTC Eris, which is of course a much slower phone, the phone is basically unusable if Google Navigation is running. Every screen tap takes at least twice as long to register so I have to mentally shift into a lower gear to accommodate it.
Yeah, it was a Nexus S for sure. It was cnn.com I was browsing so maybe it was slow loading.

I also noticed on the Galaxy Tab that the response to swiping is noticeable slower than the iPad. It's very frustrating if you're used to iOS.
