"Wobbly" scrolling in portrait mode

This is a really great tablet, and I like it very much.

But one thing is really irritating:
When in portrait mode (for me, the standard mode of operation) the scrolling is not really smooth. One side lags a bit behind the other so that a "wobbly" effect results. This is especially noticeable when scrolling fast, not so much when scrolling slowly. And it is especially noticeable when scrolling larger amounts of text.

The phenomenon doesn't occur in landscape mode.

The tablet has a very strong GPU and CPU, so this doesn't fit into the high-end-ishness of the device, and since the screen doesn't have the very highest resolution, scrolling should not pose such problems!

Does anyone know something about the reasons?

Would it be possible to eliminate the problem with a better graphics driver?

Could it be possible (on a rooted device) to "tell" Android on this device that portrait mode is the standard orientation instead of landscape, so that the wobbling at least occurs in landscape but not in portrait??
