You've offered no specific replies to the multitude of problems in this thread so I figured I might just ask point blank:
Is crashing out after a couple swipes on a first generation iPad accepted and not a problem in your eyes? Because EVERYONE with a first gen iPad is having that exact problem, and you've chosen to completely ignore them.
Crashing is ALWAYS a bad experience, regardless of what preceded it. It's not subjective, or ambiguous, or possibly the users fault. It's 100% the fault of your memory intensive page, something that you refuse to take responsibility for or acknowledge is a problem.
From that, I can only assume this crap is geared towards iPad 2 owners only, giving me a bunch of extra reasons to hate it. Not only are you going to code a convoluted solution to something that isn't a problem for 2% of the web, you're also going to cut that in half to 1% by ignoring original iPads.

So frustrating.
