For me, the performance is OK. The real problem is selecting text on a web page or manipulating with a drag (like you do to move the map in google maps). I found it difficult to believe that you could not do this, I thought it was just a question of finding out how. I had a query out with firefox support and it finally came back...

Fennec currently does not support selecting text in a web page. We have this as a feature for the next release."
