>Seriously, for a device so thin in features and actual stuff to do, performance is disappointing.

Really? Have you checked well written apps and what they can do?

>The Google Chrome browser scrolling is horrific at times with a HUGE delay.

How is that an iOS's "performance problem"? Use Safari. It's not like iOS doesn't offer the best scrolling experience compared to Android/Chrome.

It's iOS' performance problem because Chrome is forced to use a UIWebView instead of the Nitro engine: https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/ios/overview.

It would be wonderful if Apple virtualized the UIWebView process so it could safely use nitro. Not only would it help Chrome (not that I bet Apple cares :), but also a huge number of applications. And, if apps were fully virtualized, it could possibly open up new, interesting possibilities that have been heretofore deemed unsafe.

It does indeed help a large number of apps (though more and more are going full native since the Facebook app drama).

Jailbreakers have had this for a while now with Nitrous, a tweak which unlocks the Nitro engine to all apps.

But virtualized would be slower for everybody, right?
