My own mobiles apps haven't yet displayed text longer than a few dozen pages, but I was impressed with the smoothness.
I'd always taken LC's field excellent field buffering for granted, given that their text engine is internal and used on all platforms.
I've had such good luck so far with using scrollers directly on fields that it never occurred to me that accelerated rendering would be useful for field objects.
Maybe Mark Waddingham could explain the relationship between LC's field buffering and the non-text buffering the engine does with groups?
