Datagrid in scroller on iOS update speed?

Hi All, I've got a datagrid inside of an scroller on iOS. I wouldn't call the datagrid complex, but there are 4 fields, varying height, and the rows are alternately coloured. When it was shown on the screen at 320x480 it was fairly responsive., even on the device. Of course, that looks fu
