Instead, the problem with the gestures in the current iteration of the Android P beta is one that is sadly familiar to Android users: jank. That’s the technical term (no really) that Google itself uses to describe the behavior of the System UI on this beta. “Jank” is usually translated as weird jitters, effects, and scrolling behavior.
I trust that much of that will be resolved in later iterations of the software, but I’m frankly terrified that the subtler issues won’t be. I’m speaking about the basic feel of moving elements around on the screen. It needs to be as close to perfect as possible – as good as it is on the iPhone X in my opinion – otherwise that sense of “jank” is going to permeate everything.
On a modern flagship, I haven’t experienced any animation issues on Android in years. I remain convinced that iOS users think Android scrolling is “laggy” because Android scrolling is different, not because it’s actually any worse on a flagship, that is. I haven’t touched a lower-spec Android phone in ages, so I don’t know how bad the situation is on those phones.

Sluggish scrolling is when you have too many apps installed and running in the background (harvesting location daza etc). Also there is a problem with low-cost phones – they have too many GHz, but slow and small flash system. Flash needs free space to breath also (see FTL, ie Flash Translation Layer).
Google Maps is super-janky on my BlackBerry KeyOne. Pretty much every other app is smooth.

Then why the hell are you praising this garbage if you have *NO IDEA* of how it performs *WITH REAL WORLD DEVICES*
This is exactly how the world wound up with UI crap like Vista,Gnome 3,KDE to a large extent,and Windows 8.
