Default Laggy input with multi touch visualizer

Hey guys, I tested the evo 4g multitouch input with the multitouch visualizer yesterday and found that though it does have much better tracking than the nexus one(no crossing and stuff) it does seem to have significant input lag, I do not have it on me to take a video, but download the multitouch visualizer and try moving around, the dot lags behind your finger significantly, anyone know if this is a hardware issue or just not tuned right?

I seriously hope this is a software/work in progress issue. I'd be severely disappointed to see HTC make such a mistake that they've avoided with past phones like the Incredible. I mean, why would they make the Evo's screen worse than the Incredible's?

This might be a deal killer for me. It is one of the reasons I've avoided Android up until now.

If there is not a software patch then I am sure FROYO will remove the problems.

I have a sneaking feeling that the camera, video and lag will be addressed at the update of Froyo 2.2

The Droid has a more responsive screen and no axis-crossing issues like the Nexus One.

Personally I wouldn't have noticed the Evo's input lag if I hadn't downloaded the Multitouch Visualization Test from the Market.

I would love to see a comparison side by side with the Evo & the Incredible. All of the comparison I've seen are either the Evo vs. N1 or Incredible vs. N1. None of which the two are side by side. From the comparison I've seen with Evo vs. N1, the Evo is still far superior to the N1 as far as multitouch goes. In that case I'm not to worried.

deal breaker? no lag in the UI, but lag on one program that tests multi-touch and it's a deal breaker?

at least test out actual multitouch functions, if there is lag there than maybe a deal breaker, otherwise I fail to see how this is definitely an evo problem; maybe it is a problem of the program on the phone. I'll take real use over test program for my deal breaker.
