Hmm ... is this still an issue with dual core Android phones ? I have two Android phones, Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus and both are as smooth as butter. Both feel faster than my first gen Ipad.
A lot of Android's rendering takes place on the CPU and a lot of it is small batches of serial work that isn't very well suited for concurrent execution on multiple cores.
