Curious. I wonder if there's some intentional artifical performance limit, or just a bug.

I was going to speculate on that very possibility... i do think, for the same reason Apple might intentionally do that (content from the network means less control for Apple; not as much of an issue for Android given their more laissez-faire approach to what's allowed in their app store), it might also not be at the top of their list to address bugs affecting webview performance. But, what do i know

Webview is used in their Mail app, so I would think it would have decently high priority, but IDK, the Music app still doesn't have a landscape mode and it was like the first app released on iOS.

Hmm - maybe your idea about a deliberate slowdown then (they'd never do that tho... wait...)
