Actually the latest version that I installed this morning seems pretty smooth thus far. I'll have to retract that gif if this keeps up.

I just want a rock solid twitter like app that doesn’t use lots of data. Thousands of features isn’t that compelling to me. Each new feature usually entails more bandwidth, more stuff to load, more stuff to put on the screen. I’m just trying to get the basics super fast and low-bandwidth, that is difficult enough.
