My Pre+ (webOS2 @ 1GHz) however is just as quick to render webpages as my friend's iPhone 3gs, slightly slower than my other friend's Galaxy S, and quite a bit slower than my other friend's iPhone 4 and that Gingerbread phone I played with the other day (no idea what it was because Androids all look the same and have no real distinguishing features apart from where somebody decided to randomly put the four buttons).
Now all that sounds fairly OK because the Pre is about as quick as the phones that are as old as it is and gets beaten by phones that are newer, but the benchmarks the TouchPad has undergone would suggest that this is in fact one area where webOS has stagnated.
Again, I don't think this is catastrophic; HP has been busy with other stuff that was way more important than making sure webOS doesn't lag behind by precious milliseconds or even a second here and there. But now that that stuff is done, they can go back to implementing these little things that, at the end of the day, end up going a long way.
Go buy a touchpad and see if you feel the same way. In real world scenarios it's not that much of a difference. Most of the times when the tp is noticeably slower its because the iPad is rendering a tablet version of a site where the tp is loading full site. Or there's flash loading to slow the tp down.
