Yes and no. I agree that apps should promote the usage of fastscroll which
atm is only used by addressbook and clock. However the listview scrolling
in general is still too slow in my opinion. Also a fastscroll doesn't apply
to all use cases. It could also very well be a performance issue where the
listview delegate is too heavy causing a delay before it is loaded.
