Additional info: we found that in the following DEV version: 64.0.3271.3, the performance has improved by 60-70% as compared to official version - 62.0.3202.84.

Please let us know if the performance fixes in DEV version will be available in upcoming official versions, if so, by when ?  And, what particular fixes went in DEV version for list scrolling?

@naveen: Thanks for the report!!

Could you please help with the sample file, which is accessible as the attached html wasn't accessible, and if possible attach a screencast as well, that would help us in triaging the issue.

Thanks!!
Please find the updated www folder.

Those .rar attachments contain web pages, not apps. I tried loading that page into the WebView shell, and it scrolled smoothly, using WebView 62.0.3202.84. What's the app you're using to repro? Can you repro this jank in any other app?
