3rd party app performance???

---

Question... I am noticing that basically every app i download is a little jerky in performance and does not mirror the flawless navigating experience the core os apps offer when it comes to smoothness... Is this a result from them being stored on the sd card? Or can it be from lack of optimization? Because if its the first, its quite dissapointing to see that this is gonna be the expected performance of most apps you download...

I currently have facebook, twitter, flixter movies, lazyworm twitter, xbox live extras, and a few others and i see hiccups in all of them when panning and scrolling compared to the browser, contacts, email, etc.

considering the sd card is integrated into the overall hard drive, I don't think it's that.
Maybe because it's the first round of apps for the OS.

yea...eventually they would update them till they get them running smooth ...for example facebook app runs choppy

The hiccups seem to be occuring in these first-release un-optimized applications. They also seem to occur most often while the application is actively loading data and you are trying to use it.

Some apps work fine, and if you notice, most apps will work just fine once they have completely loaded any and all information on the screen. I find that after waiting a bit for Facebook to load everything, it pans and scrolls just as well as the underlying OS.

That being said, since I notice some apps can load data and run just fine, that its just more a developer side issue than the phone/OS. I'm sure as devs get the hang of programming and optimizing their apps we will see much better performing applications.

thanx for the replies guys!!! seems like this is the issue and not the memory card (thank goodness)

here is the article to prove it

My experience of The Harvest was actually ruined by the lag/stuttering issue, especially when enemies were loading. I would think that this is probably caused by garbage collection issues in the .NET CF.
