If you notice any slowdowns, please describe exactly what action you took to experience it.
The way you are explaining things now, we could be chasing ghosts and get similar results.
The problem is he is comparing it to the iPhone.

The scrolling on the iphone is very, very silky smooth and plenty of "fade" effects thrown in for good measure. This is a consequence of it's design - the UI must do this is a priority.

The scrolling on the n900 is nowhere near as smooth as the iphone but for most people is smooth enough. This is consequence of design too but unlike the iphone the smoothness of the ui was not a priority.

Comparing n900 scrolling to another n900 makes sense. Comparing to different device all together does not.

This is totally a non-issue (unless a particular user's n900 is not scrolling properly).

I think it is highly unlikely he can be specific about it. He's used to the perception that a device must have "silky-smooth" scrolling to be deemed a "usable & acceptable" device.

He's a product of Apple programming marketing.
