I like what Smoothie does - but on my desktop, my laptop and my iPad,
the screen is not smooth but jerkie.

Any ideas as to why this is? The demo does it as well as all of my
applications.

It's interesting. I've noticed that recently too... it never used to
be like that. Could be a change in how WebKit renders stuff, or could
be a regression in Smoothie.

Do you notice it being jerky immediately, or does it get progressively
jerkier after it's been open for a while?

Thanks for the quick response.

If I go to the web site on my XP machines or with the iPad, the
display is jerky.

It happens immediately.

It looks to me to have to do with the grid - but that might just be a
visual illusion.

Do you have back versions I could test?

Just one other observation, on my Windows XP box, firefox takes 98%
of the CPU time when I go to the web site.

Has it always done this? This could be another symptom of the same problem.

Joe, my chart gets jerkier the longer I let it run (on safari mobile),even if the data value isn't changed.
If I don't supply any chart data, then the 'grid' moves smoothly forever, but from the moment I give a single data point it begins to slow and gets jerkier.
Do you have any hints as to where to look to find the cause?

I experience the same problem, any solutions?
