That says absolutely nothing about the responsiveness. I'm not so sure I want the screen to register input before I actually try touching it.
In any event, whatever you have heard, IR vs. capacitive has always been about registering screen contact vs. registering actual finger contact. e.g. capacitive touch does not trigger when a piece of clothing brushes the screen.

IR is used because its cheap. if it were good then tabs would have used them instead but perhaps eink will not be able to get any advantage from a capacitive owing to its own slowiness and  with the help of 64mb ram

See above, under "piece of clothing brushes the screen". There are valid reasons to want capacitive touch on ereaders, so please stop suggesting I have said otherwise.
Capacitive touch has advantages over IR touch... because it has fewer false positives.
P.S. A number of ereaders use capacitive touch, not IR. That actually makes some people (like Ripplinger) angry.
P.P.S. Try 256 MB RAM.
But what does RAM have to do with capacitive touch? DO you have any facts at all?

well it may be that printed page turns take same time but the point is it do not provide any progressive tactile feedback or animation in case of eink page turning or changing windows creates irritation, when i am turning paper paper something is happening right? so that time is bearable.

I'll say it again -- some people actively go around looking for things to complain about.

in this forum i have seen some people who swipe before reaching end of the page so by the time they reach end page turn can begin.

Page turning usually takes less time than it takes to read a single word. Maybe if the user had an ereader that was abnormally slow, perhaps (?) one of the really old brands.
Or if they have a device that has a well-known
firmware issue, i.e. something that really needs to be fixed -- and will.
