- Resolve one on trunk (we selected acceleration model for scrolling)
Non Goals
- Actually improve real performance :)
Current Progress: Acceleration Model for Scrolling
- Margaret has an initial implementation of an acceleration-based scroll model working on Windows
- We are getting her set up with a native installation of Windows, so there isn't any lag with the VM
- The two thresholds we are now interested in experimenting with and tweaking are the:
- rate of acceleration
- time chunk of events to analyze before processing them
- Still looking for research and documentation in this general area of UI toolkit design
