android - jQuery mobile button press event slow to process

Question

It seems like whenever I press an input button or anchor button on a mobile device, it takes a second or two to process the onclick or press event. Is there a way to speed this up?

I am using Phonegap + jQuery Mobile on an Android device, it seems to be a little faster on iOS

$.mobile.buttonMarkup.hoverDelay

If you find that the button down/hover state (lists, buttons, links etc) feels sluggish the $.mobile.buttonMarkup.hoverDelay setting might be of use. It will decrease the time between the touch event and the application of the relevant class but will also result in a higher chance that the same class will be applied even when the user is scrolling (eg, over a long list of links).

For example:

$( document ).bind( "mobileinit", function() {
    $.mobile.buttonMarkup.hoverDelay = 500
});
