Processing and controller hardware I think. E-Ink is enough faster that you don't notice. E-Ink is a multi-step process in 3/4 second, the flash to black and a quick draw. The actual screen drawing is fairly small increment of that time. The color process for 64 color (6 bits) is 1.8 seconds and perhaps could do some magic to flash the screen and get the colors on faster but the second or third pass can't touch the screen data that is already present. Enough hardware could avoid the multiple pass approach with more peak current. If you notice the second and third scans take 3 more seconds each time which is really what you are seeing in the display.
