When I open a Tweet I look at spinner animations for 10 seconds. Scrolling is also the opposite of smooth.

Scrolling is silky smooth for me and spinners go away quickly.

What hardware are you running?

For their infinite scrolling, they clean the DOM above and below the viewport and only keep a certain amount of tweets rendered. So once you start scrolling a little faster, the JavaScript can't keep pace and starts sputtering.
