Hi Ram, You're welcome.
If you want precise performance benchmark, you can use Adobe Scout. A friend of mine said, by using Scout, a Flex mobile application which has a Spark List of 500 itemRenderers on it, running on the iPod touch 5, madly swiping finger across the itemRenderers, Scout reported this: If set Flex Application' framerate to 24, the runtime testing result is 24, no dropping frames! If set framerate to 60, the result is 48-55 frames per second, which is already a big deal! You can do your own test using Adobe Scout, good luck.
