Yep, AFAIK, it's what the KePub renderer is based on.

Not really, unfortunately, and I'm unwilling to downgrade my main device

I'd, ideally, need two identical devices in front of me for a real test, anyway.
FWIW, I could have sworn I saw numbers around ~150-200ms at one point in time (as in, earlier FW 4.x FWs), though, but, take that with a very large grain of salt, because I stupidly didn't really jot down the results of these kinds of spur of the moment tests ^^.

Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily paint a clear picture of what's happening: capturing an eInk screen on video with any semblance of accuracy is *extremely* tricky
.
But, yeah, that one doesn't look good ^^. It roughly feels like crossing a file boundary would, except it's not :s.

Yup.
