Unfortunatly no. The problem comes in that the text is only drawn at
one set speed. On a 160x160 device its not quite as bad to have the
text update as you move the scrollbar. On a 320x320 device you
have twice as much space to draw, but it's still going at the same
speed. The end result is that it takes twice as long to draw text on
hires devices than lores.

I do have some ideas on how to fix the source problem (text drawing
speed), but I found that while the scrollbar was being moved the
display just became extremly choppy and scattered, and generally
looked bad. So I changed it to act this way.

This ofcourse wouldn't quite be as bad on a Tungsten becuase of the
faster processor; so maybe it wouldn't be too bad to re-enable it for
that, but for other devices it would just slow things down too much.

One day this will hopefully be fixed so everything'll be all nice and
smooth and no delays (and everything would appear on one page, with
word docs, wap sites, broken websites, etc etc :)
