Yep, the difference is that plebstr doesn't load everything as you scroll as we do. Is it similar in your own feed?
Two videos demonstrating the difference in scrolling on my Androod M13 octocore Android 13 phone between Plebstr (smooth and responsive) and Amethyst (feels laggy and unresponsive):

(BTW: I like Amethyst very much because it has lots of nice functionality is robust and is actively maintained.)
Discussion
Yes, but then Plebstr loads the content delayed, in a 'frame' already sized correctly to fit, instead of the blurs.
sort of 'graphically indexing' it first, displaying correctly sized pre-holder frames and loading the actual contents using different threads (?)
Yep, fixing the size speed things up but the breaks some of the experience
That's true, sometimes there are visual delays where subcontent is still loading. But it does make it very responsive.
Does that happen in the version we just released? And does it happen in your feed too?
(I meant in Plebstr)
The video I made is with Amethyst v *.0.65 (am using Obtainium, per your suggestion)
Does that jittering happen in your feed as well or just on global?
The same in my feed (just tried it in Amethyst v65)
I will make a video.
It's interesting because this is worse than a Pixel 6 in debug mode (which has a lot of junk in it).

For comparison, here's the global feed on a Pixel 7 base: https://cs200.clideo.com/p/59c7ak2mGOmlHrE-VtPrxw/8890e0a993227d4ab8297fc46038f33f/untitled_Pe2QeyW0.mp4
Thanks. Can't see it on phone (will try download on PC, later).
The same in latest v0.62.7
Perhaps thisâť”(below); I did have animations disabled (but reenabling them doesn't seem to make much difference)
