It has nothing to do with "underpowered", it's just a combination of a poorly designed framebuffer (which is unrelated to the power of the CPU), and zlib's total lack of optimization.

You can't compare a Zire 71 (320x320) to the N810 (800x480) it only has to push updates to 1/4 the number of pixels, and that's a lot less intensive. The tablets are more than capable of smooth fullscreen updates, just see liqbase.
